Using the structure of #ATTR fibrils, a novel peptide was designed to bind ex vivo ATTR fibrils, in vitro transthyretin aggregates, & high molecular weight ATTR species in patient plasma. These findings may reveal new insights & therapeutic targets for ATTR #amyloidosis

Hey friends & colleagues! My student @_ahmed_yasmin needs help! His little brother was recently diagnosed with a rare brain tumor that required emergency surgery. Her family had to stay in LA for surgery and rehab, & costs are insane. Please RT & donate https://t.co/Aj5OL6U5Fh πŸ™
