据Audas TE 2016年10月6日(Dev Cell,2016 Oct.6.)报道,美国迈阿密大学米勒医学院的研究人员通过研究发现,在癌症进展及转移过程中扮演重要角色的特定蛋白质能够在休眠的癌细胞中以淀粉样小体(amyloid bodies)的形式储存,一旦淀粉样小体分解,癌细胞就会再度活化。淀粉样小体被认为在神经性疾病的发生过程中扮演着重要角色,比如阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病等,但淀粉样小体在癌症进展 According to a report by Audas TE on October 6, 2016 (Dev Cell, Oct. 6, 2016), researchers at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami in the United States found that specific proteins that play an important role in cancer progression and metastasis can be found in Hibernating cancer cells are stored as amyloid bodies, which reactivate once the amyloid is broken down. Amyloidosomes are thought to play an important role in the development of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, but amyloid in cancer progression
