RNA-seq and network analysis reveal unique glial gene expression signatures during prion infection

Molecular Brain, 2020
Background Prion diseases and prion-like disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, are characterized by gliosis and accumulation of misfolded aggregated host proteins.

Electrostatics in the Stability and Misfolding of the Prion Protein: Salt Bridges, Self-Energy, and Solvation

, 2010
Using a recently developed mesoscopic theory of protein dielectrics, we have calculated the salt bridge energies, total residue electrostatic potential energies, and transfer energies into a low dielectric amyloid-like phase for 12 species and mutants of

Synthesis and structural characterization of a mimetic membrane-anchored prion protein [PDF]

, 2006
During pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) an abnormal form (PrPSc) of the host encoded prion protein (PrPC) accumulates in insoluble fibrils and plaques. The two forms of PrP appear to have identical covalent structures, but

Association of recurrence patterns and outcome with HR and HER2 status in patients with resected brain metastases from breast cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? While treatment strategies for solid brain metastases have been relatively uniform across cancer subtypes, tailored approaches are warranted. In this observational study, intracranial recurrences after microsurgical resection occurred significantly earlier and more frequently at distant sites in patients with triple‐negative breast cancer ...

Comparison of acetone and sodium phosphotungstic acid precipitation for sample enrichment prior to RT-QuIC for the detection of prion disease

BMC Research Notes
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are fatal neurodegenerative diseases that are medically, economically, and ecologically important.

Human Prion Disease and Human Prion Protein Disease [PDF]

, 1996
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), kuru, and Gerstmann-Straussler syndrome (GSS) show clinical and pathological characteristics similar to those of scrapie, a transmissible neurodegenerative disease of sheep and goats. These diseases are caused by slow infectious agents designated as prions (PRUSINER 1982). The major component of prions is prion protein (

Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...
