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.

Transmission and Characterization of Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease and Chronic Wasting Disease in the North American Deer Mouse

Viruses
Prion transmission into rodents is essential for understanding prion strains. However, it is often limited by a “species barrier” that makes transmission challenging and complicates the study of animal and human prion diseases. Here, we report that North

An overview of animal prion diseases

Virology Journal, 2011
Prion diseases are transmissible neurodegenerative conditions affecting human and a wide range of animal species. The pathogenesis of prion diseases is associated with the accumulation of aggregates of misfolded conformers of host-encoded cellular prion ...

The crystal structure of the globular domain of sheep prion protein

, 2004
The prion protein PrP is a naturally occurring polypeptide that becomes transformed from a normal conformation to that of an aggregated form, characteristic of pathological states in fatal transmissible spongiform conditions such as Creutzfeld–Jacob ...

Prion diseases are efficiently transmitted by blood transfusion in sheep [PDF]

, 2008
The emergence of variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, following on from the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic, led to concerns about the potential risk of iatrogenic transmission of disease by blood transfusion and the introduction of costly ...

Imaging patterns and genetic associations of brain atrophy across distinct symptom stages in Parkinson's disease

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Early disease stages showed limited cortical atrophy and enrichment of synaptic and calcium signaling pathways, whereas advanced stages demonstrated widespread cortical degeneration associated with immune activation and extracellular matrix remodeling.

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.

RNA‐binding protein RBMS1: A new target for cancer diagnosis and treatment

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates the diverse regulatory roles of RNA‐binding motif single‐stranded interacting protein 1 (RBMS1) across multiple human cancers. In breast cancer, RBMS1 stabilizes B4GALT1 mRNA to promote PD‐L1 glycosylation, modulating tumor immune escape and immunotherapy efficacy.
