Prions can infect both humans and animals, causing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, mad cow disease in cattle, and chronic wasting disease in elk and deer. The infectious, misfolded protein ...
Two recent cases of prion disease in the U.S. may have been caused by contaminated deer meat, though the connection is still unproven. Reading time 3 minutes A new study might point to the first signs ...
New research from Japan suggests that a rare brain-destroying disease caused by rogue prion proteins may be becoming more common—likely due to an aging population. The study, published last month in ...
Abnormal prion proteins are little understood disease agents involved in causing horrific brain-wasting diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease in people, mad cow disease in cattle and chronic ...
Prions can infect both humans and animals, causing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, mad cow disease in cattle, and chronic wasting disease in elk and deer. The infectious, misfolded protein ...
Prion diseases are progressive nervous system diseases which always have a fatal outcome. They are transmissible and affect many mammals. They are also called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies ...
The National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center (NPDPSC) at Case Western Reserve University will receive up to $20 million in funding as part of a grant renewal from the Centers for Disease ...
Prions are proteinaceous particles that are able to self-propagate within hosts in a similar way as classic infectious agents. 1 Prions are composed mainly or solely by a misfolded protein and they ...
A new epigenetic editing tool shows promise as a therapy for prion disease. The approach for silencing prion protein (PrP), is both specific and can lead to wide-spread knockdown expression of PrP ...
Researchers at Columbia University’s Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute report that a prion-like protein, encoded by a gene called TIA1, helps the brain keep fearful memories in check ...
