Nonpathological Extracellular Amyloid Is Present during Normal Epididymal Sperm Maturation
Amyloids are aggregated proteins characterized by a specific cross-β-sheet structure and are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease. Recently, however, several nonpathological amyloids have been found in intracellular organelles of normal mammalian ti...
