Understanding Amyloidosis: Causes, Types, and Pathological Characteristics

Amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by the deposition of abnormal amyloid fibrils in tissues, impacting various organs. This condition is associated with different types of amyloid, such as AA and AL amyloid. The deposition of amyloid can lead to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Primary and

Understanding Cell Injury and Degeneration in Response to Various Stressors

Cell injury can result from multiple stressors such as hypoxia, physical agents, chemicals, microbes, immunologic factors, nutritional imbalances, and aging. This can lead to reversible changes (degeneration) or irreversible changes (necrosis). Types of degeneration include cloudy swelling, hydropic
