PubMed Abstract: Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a degenerative disease affecting the heart and other organs. Transthyretin (TTR) aggregation is a driver of ATTR pathology, but the mechanism is poorly understood. We used proteomics and tissue clearing technology on wild-type (WT) human cardiac (WT/WT) and V122I human cardiac (V122I/WT) tissue to better understand TTR cardiomyopathy.
