The prevalence of fibromyalgia in gastrointestinal disease has been described mostly for celiac disease [52] and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [ 52 ] [ 50 ] IBS and fibromyalgia share similar pathogenic mechanisms, involving immune system mast cells , inflammatory biomarkers, hormones , and neurotransmitters such as serotonin .
To date, 37 human proteins have been found to form amyloid in pathology and be associated with well-defined diseases. [2] The International Society of Amyloidosis classifies amyloid fibrils and their associated diseases based upon associated proteins (for example ATTR is the group of diseases and associated fibrils formed by TTR).

Many textile mills and fiber producing factories located in LMICs have high rates of chronic respiratory disease caused by byssinosis. [3] The term "brown lung" is a misnomer, as the lungs of affected individuals are not brown. [8] Byssinosis is also referred to as cotton worker's lung, mill fever, brown lung disease, and Monday fever. [4]
MERRF syndrome (or myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers) is a mitochondrial disease. It is extremely rare, and has varying degrees of expressivity owing to heteroplasmy . [ 1 ] MERRF syndrome affects different parts of the body, particularly the muscles and nervous system . [ 2 ]
Dorsal stress fibers are located at the leading edge of the cell. They attach to focal adhesions on the ventral surface of the leading edge, and extend dorsally, towards the cell centre to attach to transverse arcs. [28] During cell migration, actin filaments within stress fibers will be recycled by a process of retrograde actin flow. The ...
Kwashiorkor is a type of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). SAM is a category, composed of two conditions: marasmus and kwashiorkor. [9] Both kwashiorkor and marasmus fall under the umbrella of protein–energy malnutrition (PEM). [10]

Elastic fibers are found throughout the body, but are particularly abundant in the aorta, ligaments and the ciliary zonules of the eye; consequently, these areas are among the worst affected. A transgenic mouse has been created carrying a single copy of a mutant fibrillin-1, a mutation similar to that found in the human gene known to cause MFS.
