AA amyloid fibrils from diseased tissue are structurally different from in vitro formed SAA fibrils

Systemic AA amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disease caused by the formation of amyloid fibrils from serum amyloid A (SAA) protein. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of AA amyloid fibrils isolated from mouse tissue and in vitro formed fibrils, which differ in their structures and t...
