(A) The number of publications using the keywords “heart” and “amyloidosis”. There has been a clear trend of increased publication in cardiac amyloidosis since the mid 2000s with suggestion of exponential growth of research in this area. (B) The number of publications using the keyword “Alzheimer's Disease” in PubMed increased dramatically in the late 1970s, reaching the current plateau of approximately 6,000 papers per year. Notably, the National Institute on Aging was established in 1974 and began funding Alzheimer's Disease Centers at medical institutions across the country in 1984. This exponential increase of research publications in Alzheimer's Disease resembles. (C) The established kinetics of amyloid fibril formation showing a “lag/ nucleation phase”, “elongation/growth phase”, and “equilibrium phase”.
