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.

Molecular dynamics as an approach to study prion protein misfolding and the effect of pathogenic mutations [PDF]

, 2011
Computer simulation of protein dynamics offers unique high-resolution information that complements experiment. Using experimentally derived structures of the natively folded prion protein (PrP), physically realistic dynamics and conformational changes ...

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

Perceived Risks and Agency Trust Associated With Chronic Wasting Disease Over Time 慢性消耗性疾病相关感知风险与机构信任的时序变化研究

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We examined changes in perceived risks associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD) and perceived trust in wildlife agencies over time across 10 studies in eight states. Results indicated that perceived risks to both deer and humans declined the longer the disease had been in a state. Results also indicated that agency trust evaluations were positive,

Movement Disorders in Prionopathies: A Systematic Review

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2019
Background: Movement disorders are frequent features of prionopathies. However, their prevalence and onset remain poorly described. Methods: We performed a systematic review of case reports and case series of pathologically- and genetically confirmed ...

Strain Traits of Intracranially Administered L‐Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Prions Are not Significantly Modified During Intraspecies Transmission in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the three prion strains of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), classical BSE (C‐BSE) prions are known causative agents of variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. By contrast, human infections with L‐type (L‐) or H‐type (H‐) BSE prions have not been reported.

Endocannabinoid system gene expression in mesocorticolimbic brain regions of individuals with alcohol use disorder: A descriptive study

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To describe differences in the expression of genes encoding cannabinoid receptors (CNR1, CNR2), the associated receptor GRP55 and the enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) between individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and controls in key mesocorticolimbic brain regions.

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease: A case report and differential diagnoses

Clinical Case Reports, 2022
Although sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease and often difficult to diagnose at the earliest onset, meticulous clinical examination, electroencephalography, and neuroimaging findings will help in diagnosis.
