Book One of a Two Part Story Arc and the First in a Series Ven
Khilada is a land of magic and gods. Settlements abound, both large
and small, each with a life of their own and hidden secrets. Except
Rottwealth. A backwater village, surrounded by mountains and
ignored by most, nothing of merit ever leaves the valley. Aside, of
course, from the mystical plant which shares its name. A plant that
can heal even the most dire wounds in a matter of moments, and
flourishes within the swamp that takes up part of the valley. Ean
Sangrave, a disgruntled Healer's apprentice barely in his twenties,
wants to escape and start a new life outside of the village that
hates him. If the village ever discovered Ean's ability to summon
creatures from the Abyss - like his closest friend, Zin the imp -
judgment would be swift and punishment final. When an unconquerable
monster takes residence in the new mine, the mayor's oldest son,
Bran Erikson, is given the task of traveling to the capital city
Lurthalan to seek help. To the surprise of the entire village, he
chooses Ean to accompany him. But with a connection to a taboo god
and a power he barely understands, can Ean fit into the world
outside of his secluded village, or will the stigma that has been
placed on him since birth follow him the rest of his life.

Assembly and deposition of physiologically generated, amyloidogenic
proteins occur in various human diseases, referred to as
amyloidoses, through misfolding that is either partial unfolding or
partial folding of the proteins. A growing body of evidence
suggests that misfolding of a given protein is driven by point
mutations or by the presence of environmental factors favourable
for amyloidogenesis. In this book, the authors present topical
research in the study of the composition, function and pathology of
amyloids, including the effect of yeast red pigment on amyloid
fibrils in vivo and in vitro; amyloid precursor protein and its
relation to Alzheimer's disease; amyloid precursor protein
expression after traumatic brain injury; protein aggregation as a
modulatory factor in EPMI and the atomic-resolution structures of
prion AGAAAAGA amyloid fibrils.
