Identification of epidermal growth factor-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1-derived amyloid deposition in a rhesus macaque.

The document discusses the identification of epidermal growth factor-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1-derived amyloid deposition in a rhesus macaque. The study found amyloid deposits in the veins of multiple tissues in a 37.5-year-old male rhesus macaque, similar to findings in humans. The research suggests that AEFEMP1 amyloidosis may be an age-related condition in macaques and highlights the need for further investigation to understand its implications fully.
