Protein thermal stability in the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory: Exploring protein thermal stability with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 209-217, March/April 2025.
Abstract We created a novel laboratory experience where undergraduate students explore the techniques used to study protein misfolding, unfolding, and aggregation. Despite the importance of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, protein unfolding is not typically explored in undergraduate biochemistry laboratory classes.

Applicability of long-term electroencephalography in pre-mortem diagnosis of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease: A case report

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2017
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease accounts for more than 90% of all sporadic prion disease cases. The molecular MM2 genotype has been divided into cortical and thalamic subtypes based on structures involved and is characterized clinically by progressive dementia

THE CLINICAL CASE OF PRIMARY PROGRESSIVE APHASIA

Учёные записки Санкт-Петербургского государственного медицинского университета им. Акад. И.П. Павлова, 2019
The article described the rare clinical case of the patient with probable transmissible encephalopathy (Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease) in whom rapidly forming primary progressive aphasia was the herald clinical feature, and motor and sensory functions were ...

New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) versus refractory status epilepticus not meeting NORSE criteria: A comparative clinical and electroencephalography‐based study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare, severe presentation of refractory status epilepticus (RSE), with approximately half of cases cryptogenic NORSE (c‐NORSE). We compared electroencephalographic (EEG) findings alongside clinical features between NORSE and RSE not meeting NORSE criteria to better understand ...

High diagnostic performance of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid beta‐synuclein for sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2023
Beta‐synuclein is a promising cerebrospinal fluid and blood biomarker of synaptic damage. Here we analysed its accuracy in the discrimination between sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (n = 150) and non‐prion rapidly progressive dementias (n = 106).

A case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

Journal of Korean Medical Science, 1991
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is presumably caused by a slow infectious pathogen or prion. The principal clinical features of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are dementia, pyramidal and extrapyramidal symptoms and signs, cerebellar dysfunction, and myoclonus.

Early Remission of Cerebrospinal Fluid Interleukin‐6 After Initial Immunotherapy Predicts a Good Prognosis in Autoimmune Encephalitis

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Autoimmune encephalitis therapy requires adjusting the regimen based on therapeutic response; however, clinical indicators of this response remain unknown. Aim To determine the predictive capability of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), electroencephalography (EEG), and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying responders to ...

Young-onset sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease with atypical phenotypic features: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, with a mean survival of 6 months, is duly considered among the most fatal neurological disorders. Rapidly progressive dementia with multi-axial involvement of the nervous system is the known presentation ...

Ring trial of 2nd generation RT‐QuIC diagnostic tests for sporadic CJD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Objective Real‐time quaking‐induced conversion (RT‐QuIC) assays detect prion‐seeding activity in a variety of human biospecimens, including cerebrospinal fluid and olfactory mucosa swabs.

Prediction of Prion Proteins in E. coli Based on Bimodal Sequence Characteristics

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prions are infectious proteins that bear misfolded conformations capable of converting folded states into misfolded aggregates under physiologically relevant conditions. In mammals, prions cause deadly maladies including Creutzfeldt‐Jakob and chronic wasting disease. To date, several prion proteins have been identified in eukaryotes, primarily
