Article Abstract
A crystallogenesis study of human transthyretin using the counter-diffusion method is described as an alternative to conventional convective vapour diffusion and batch approaches for protein crystallization. The X-ray diffraction results show systematic trends that exhibit unique patterns of crystallization and high crystal quality as well as a remarkable degree of coherence within extended crystal rods that wholly fill the capillaries used. Preliminary neutron diffraction data have been recorded from a number of these samples, validating the feasibility of this methodology for neutron crystallography.

(TM) is a common opportunistic infection among patients with AIDS, characterized by rapid systemic dissemination and a high mortality rate. Early identification of patients at risk of death is critical to improving clinical outcomes. Despite the severity of disseminated TM infection (DPSM), few predictive tools exist to assess mortality risk in affected AIDS patients.

Hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis is a progressive multisystem disorder, mainly characterized by cardiac dysfunction and polyneuropathy. Due to its rarity and heterogeneous presentation, diagnosis is often delayed, which has a direct impact on the initiation of treatment and, therefore, span and quality of life. To facilitate early disease recognition, we aimed to develop and validate a new screening tool for early identification of ATTRv amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (AmyloScan).

Background: The treatment and prognosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) depend heavily on the accurate identification of amyloid protein types. Histopathological methods are the most commonly used approach, but often produce inconclusive results. The application of mass spectrometry with laser microdissection mass spectrometry based on non-targeted proteomics in CA diagnosis is gradually being recognized, but it is expensive, time-consuming, and still in the early stages of scientific research applications.

Aim: To report a novel case of biopsy-proven, mass spectrometry-confirmed, wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) in nerve.
Methods: The patient was identified and evaluated in the peripheral nerve clinic. Our nerve laboratory's pathology database and the literature were searched for prior evidence of pathologically confirmed cases of ATTRwt.
