== Background == | |||
Amyloids are accumulated proteins that are folded up into a shape that allows for continual copies to be made of each protein. These proteins then create fibrils that accumulate in the liver of humans, cats, and dogs. Numerous diseases can be credited to the over abundance of amyloid fibrils. Amyloids can be formed by many different proteins and polypeptides. | |||
