Efficient transmission and characterization of creutzfeldt-jakob disease strains in bank voles.

, 2006
Transmission of prions between species is limited by the "species barrier," which hampers a full characterization of human prion strains in the mouse model.

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of

The 37kDa/67kDa laminin receptor as a therapeutic target in prion diseases: potency of antisense LRP RNA, siRNAs specific for LRP mRNA and a LRP decoy mutant [PDF]

, 2006
Prion diseases are a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), that affect both animals and humans and include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, scrapie in sheep ...

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,

Chronic Wasting Disease management responses in North America: A public policy analysis

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
In this study we use the Multiple Streams Framework from public policy theory to assess the responses of wildlife management agencies in states and provinces with CWD‐positive cases in the United States and Canada to alleviate public concerns and manage the spread of this disease.

The presence of valine at residue 129 in human prion protein accelerates amyloid formation

, 2005
The polymorphism at residue 129 of the human PRNP gene modulates disease susceptibility and the clinicopathological phenotypes in human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

Sugar Metabolisms Altered By Undissociated Forms of Organic Acids Based on the Emergence of [GAR+] Cells in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The glucose repression system is a mechanism for effective energy acquisition by glucose assimilation in microorganisms. In yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is known as a prion‐like protein [GAR+], is involved in the bypass of glucose repression. It has been reported that the emergence of [GAR+] cells was promoted by lactate and acetate.

Decontamination of prions, prion-associated amyloid and inefectivity from surgical stainless steel - implications for the risk of iatrogenic transmission of CJD

, 2009
The physicochemical nature of the infectious agent in prion diseases creates asignificant challenge for decontamination services. It has been shown to be both resistant tostandard methods of decontamination, used to inactivate viruses and bacteria, and ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...
