Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although amyloidosis was discovered approximately 180 years ago, it remains a mysterious disease with many unresolved aspects. However, recent advances in analytical techniques have helped to elucidate its detailed pathogenesis. Systematic analyses, such as multi-omics analysis, have gradually unraveled the mystery of amyloidosis not only in medicine but also in veterinary science. The classification of animal amyloidosis, which was once limited to AA amyloidosis or AL amyloidosis, has increased significantly. It is well-known that AA amyloidosis and AApoAII amyloidosis can transmit between individuals as well as prion diseases. Mass spectrometry has become a new diagnostic tool, which used to rely on immunohistochemistry. Against these backgrounds, this Special Issue, “Pathogenesis, Transmission and Diagnosis of Animal Amyloidosis”, will publish selected advanced research papers in this field with the aim of further developing amyloidosis research in veterinary science.
