Amyloid fibril proteins and amyloidosis: chemical identification and clinical classification International Society of Amyloidosis 2016 Nomenclature Guidelines.

TLDR
Two proteins which were previously characterized as intracellular inclusions, tau and α-synuclein, are now recognized to form extracellular deposits upon cell death and thus have been included in Table 1 as ATau and AαSyn.
Abstract
The Nomenclature Committee of the International Society of Amyloidosis (ISA) met during the XVth Symposium of the Society, 3 July–7 July 2016, Uppsala, Sweden, to assess and formulate recommendatio...

A new era for understanding amyloid structures and disease.

TL;DR: The first near-atomic-resolution structures of amyloid fibrils formed in vitro, seeded from plaque material and analysed directly ex vivo are now available and reveal cross-β structures that are far more intricate than anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amyloid nomenclature 2018: recommendations by the International Society of Amyloidosis (ISA) nomenclature committee

TL;DR: The nomenclature committee of the International Society of Amyloidosis (ISA) meets every second year to discuss and formulate recommendations as discussed by the authors, and the conclusions from the discussion at the XVI International Symposium on Amyloids in Kumamoto, Japan, 25-29 March 2018 and afterwards are summarized in this Nomenclatures Article.

Systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis.

TL;DR: Passive immunotherapies targeting clonal plasma cells and directly accelerating removal of amyloid deposits promise to further improve the overall outlook of this increasingly treatable disease.

HGVS Recommendations for the Description of Sequence Variants: 2016 Update

TL;DR: The current recommendations, HGVS version 15.11, are presented, and briefly summarize the changes that were made since the 2000 publication, with most focus on removing inconsistencies and tightening definitions allowing automatic data processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibril in senile systemic amyloidosis is derived from normal transthyretin.

TL;DR: It is shown that the TTR molecule in SSA, on the other hand, has a normal primary structure, and factors other than the primary structure of TTR must therefore be important in the pathogenesis of T TR-derived amyloid.

Semen-Derived Amyloid Fibrils Drastically Enhance HIV Infection

TL;DR: It is shown that naturally occurring fragments of the abundant semen marker prostatic acidic phosphatase form amyloid fibrils, termed Semen-derived Enhancer of Virus Infection (SEVI), capture HIV virions and promote their attachment to target cells, thereby enhancing the infectious virus titer by several orders of magnitude.

Nomenclature 2014: Amyloid fibril proteins and clinical classification of the amyloidosis

TL;DR: The Nomenclature Committee of the International Society of Amyloidosis met during the XIVth Symposium of the Society, April 27–May 1, 2014, Indianapolis, IN, to assess and formulate recommend new names for amyloid beta-cell types.
