Talk:Amyloid

|
There are amyloid deposits of IAPP aggressively taking over beta-cell mass in estimated 80% of Type-two diabetes cases... Whether or not IAPP *causes* diabetes is up to debate, but, the deposits are definitely there. This is generally the case for all amyloidoses; whether or not the amyloid peptide is the causative agent is unknown. - (unsigned)
- Reasonable enough emendation. I missed this explanation at first: sorry, my oversight, but a "see talk" or some similar notation in an edit summary would make it harder to overlook. - Nunh-huh 06:31, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Re: change about "links"
So the research shows that there is a link, whether or not it holds up to further scrutiny is (of course) still up in the air. The existence of a link, is, therefore, undisputable. Whether or not it's "real", that is, not an artifact of whatever methodologies were being used, is a different question.
2nd paragraph
Could someone please rewrite the 2nd paragraph so that it is a little more intelligible to the non-specialist? ike9898 12:59, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
