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 ...

Neurotransmitter‐Defined Degeneration Patterns in Sporadic and C9orf72‐Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Predilection to GABAergic, Serotonergic, Opioid, Glutamatergic, Endocannabinoid, and Microglial Systems—Implications for Therapy Development

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a markedly distinctive clinical and neuroradiological signature, with the preferential involvement of specific brain networks and the apparent sparing of others. The molecular underpinnings of the strikingly selective anatomical vulnerability have not been fully elucidated to date despite the potential ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

DNA Nanotechnology Meets Peptide and Protein Self‐Assembly

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Combining DNA nanotechnology with peptide and protein assembly provides complementary platforms for the rational engineering of functional biomaterials. This Perspective discusses the emerging field of self‐assembling DNA‐peptide and DNA‐protein hybrid systems that combine the structural precision and programmability of DNA nanotechnology with the ...

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

, 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.

MicroRNA Alterations in the Brain and Body Fluids of Humans and Animal Prion Disease Models: Current Status and Perspectives

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
Prion diseases are transmissible progressive neurodegenerative conditions characterized by rapid neuronal loss accompanied by a heterogeneous neuropathology, including spongiform degeneration, gliosis and protein aggregation.

New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) versus refractory status epilepticus not meeting NORSE criteria: A comparative clinical and electroencephalography‐based study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare, severe presentation of refractory status epilepticus (RSE), with approximately half of cases cryptogenic NORSE (c‐NORSE). We compared electroencephalographic (EEG) findings alongside clinical features between NORSE and RSE not meeting NORSE criteria to better understand ...

Characterization of variably protease-sensitive prionopathy by capillary electrophoresis

Scientific Reports
Variably Protease Sensitive Prionopathy (VPSPr) is a rare human prion disease that, like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), results in the deposition of abnormally folded prion protein aggregates in the brain and is ultimately fatal.

Comprehensive Review on Advancements in Food Preservation Technologies for Quality and Sustainability

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preservatives limit microbial development, oxidation, and enzymatic degradation, resulting in better food quality and extended shelf life. Classified as natural, synthetic, or biological, each preservative has distinctive attributes and modes of action. Growing preference for natural preservatives aligns with clean label trends.
