"Our findings suggest that shear flow forces in various fluids in our body, such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid, could ...

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...

such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid, could trigger amyloid formation,” says Goto. Given that some medical procedures like dialysis use peristaltic pumps, it is possible that this could be ...
