Prions and Prion Diseases [PDF]
Laboratory Medicine, 1999 Prion diseases (transmissible encephalopathies) are progressive neurodegenerative diseases of animals and humans caused by a unique agent, the prion. These diseases have recently been in the news because of the emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE; mad cow disease) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in the United Kingdom.

Oxidative Damage to Nucleic Acids in Human Prion Disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 2002 Recently, several studies proposed a physiological role for the cellular prion protein (PrPc) in defense against oxidative stress. Since the pathogenesis of prion disease necessarily involves a disturbance of PrPc homeostasis, we hypothesized that such ...

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

A Systematic Review on Disease‐Modifying Therapies in Parkinsonian Disorders
Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Parkinsonian disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy, are progressive neurodegenerative conditions with no treatment options to slow disease progression. This systematic review provides an overview of evidence of disease‐modifying therapies that have been evaluated in ...

African Journal of Clinical and Experimental Microbiology, 2008 A prion is a small infectious particle, which resist inactivation by procedures that modify nucleic acids. Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs also known as prion diseases) are a group of progressive conditions that affects the brain and nervous system of humans and animals and are transmitted by prions.
