Structural Studies of Prion Proteins and Prions
2011Prion diseases are a group of fatal and incurable neurodegenerative disorders of mammals. They uniquely manifest as sporadic, genetic, and infectious maladies. The agent responsible for prion diseases is the prion. A prion is defined as a proteinaceous infectious particle, which is solely constituted by an alternately folded form of the prion protein (

Summary. Although the nature of the infectious agent causing prion diseases is still debated, several of its molecular characteristics have been clarified in remarkable detail. The transmissibility of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to humans dramatically highlights the need for research focused at interference with prion replication and spread, and ...

Prions are generally regarded as the most reliable markers of so-called prion diseases. With the advent of the protein-only concept of the transmission of prion diseases, which is predicated on the idea that prions are the infectious agents causing prion disease, and with the 1997 Nobel Prize for Medicine awarded for the prion protein concept, prions ...

[The prion hypothesis and the human prion diseases].
Berliner und Munchener tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 2002Our understanding of the pathogenesis of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) has made terrific headway over the past 40 years and some scientists are even of the opinion that this group of diseases belongs to the neurodegenerative syndromes best understood. On the other hand, the investigation of TSE has led to a multitude of unexpected
