Prodromal Lewy Body Symptoms and α‐Synuclein Seeding in Idiopathic Olfactory Dysfunction
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Early identification of pathological α‐synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease‐modifying treatments. Objectives We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory ...

Synthetic prions generated in vitro are similar to a newly identified subpopulation of PrPSc from sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
, 2005 In recent studies, the amyloid form of recombinant prion protein (PrP) encompassing residues 89–230 (rPrP 89-230) produced in vitro induced transmissible prion disease in mice.

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

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 (

Characterization of variably protease-sensitive prionopathy by capillary electrophoresis
Scientific ReportsVariably 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.

The end of the BSE saga: do we still need surveillance for human prion diseases?
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2015 The epidemics of classical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) related to BSE-infected food are coming to an end.

A novel, resistance-linked ovine PrP variant and its equivalent mouse variant modulate the in vitro cell-free conversion of rPrP to PrPres [PDF]
, 2006 Prion diseases are associated with the conversion of the normal cellular prion protein, PrPc, to the abnormal, disease-associated form, PrPSc. This conversion can be mimicked in vitro by using a cell-free conversion assay. It has recently been shown that

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,
