Amyloidosis, TEM
Amyloidosis. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through tissue with abnormal deposoits of amyloid protein (green). Amyloidosis is a disorder where deposits of amyloid (a glycoprotein) in body organs can threaten healthy function. The deposits can arise from several diseases or from a primary immune system disorder. The treatment will depend upon the underlying cause, but the symptoms of heart and kidney failure may also need to be treated

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of Amyloidosis. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted a glimpse into the abnormal deposits of amyloid protein (green) within tissue. Amyloidosis, a disorder that poses a threat to healthy organ function, occurs when these deposits accumulate in various body organs. The origins of these deposits can be attributed to multiple diseases or even stem from primary immune system disorders. As such, treatment options will vary depending on the underlying cause. However, it is crucial to address symptoms associated with heart and kidney failure as they may also require attention. Through this image, we witness the complexity and fragility of our own human bodies. The false-coloured representation allows us to delve deeper into histology and pathology – exploring cellular structures at an unprecedented level of detail using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). As medical professionals continue their quest for understanding and combating diseases like amyloidosis, images like these serve as invaluable tools for research and education. This photograph not only captures the essence of this debilitating condition but also reminds us of the importance of preserving our health through early detection and appropriate intervention strategies.
