Clinical–Radiological Spectrum of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy‐Related Inflammation

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective To identify clinical and radiological features of cerebral amyloid angiopathy‐related inflammation (CAA‐ri), and compare these features with those of sporadic CAA, to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and clinical care of CAA‐ri. Methods We retrospectively reviewed routine clinical data from 37 patients with CAA‐ri and 158 patients with ...

Stochastic Modelling Approach to the Incubation Time of Prionic Diseases

open access: yes, 2003
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies like the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans are neurodegenerative diseases for which prions are the attributed pathogenic agents.

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

open access: yes, 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

Anatomical Associations Between Focal Mitochondrial Metabolism and Patterns of Neurodegeneration in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a very specific neuroimaging signature, but the molecular underpinnings of the strikingly selective anatomic involvement have not elucidated to date. Accordingly, a large neuroimaging study was conducted with 258 participants to evaluate associations between patterns of neurodegeneration and focal ...

Seeding and transgenic overexpression of alpha‐synuclein triggers dendritic spine pathology in the neocortex

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2017
Although misfolded and aggregated α‐synuclein (α‐syn) is recognized in the disease progression of synucleinopathies, its role in the impairment of cortical circuitries and synaptic plasticity remains incompletely understood.

Atypical status of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Poland: a molecular typing study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The aim of this study was to analyze molecular features of protease-resistant prion protein (PrPres) in Western blots of BSE cases diagnosed in Poland with respect to a possible atypical status.

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease Cortical Subtype

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of the rare sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease cortical subtype (sCJDMM/MV2C) in a large multicentric autopsy cohort. Methods We evaluated clinical histories, biofluid markers, brain diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalogram (EEG ...

Evidence for Oxidative Stress in Experimental Prion Disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2000
Oxidative stress has been shown to be important in several neurodegenerative disorders. Previous in vitro studies have already demonstrated the ability of a prion protein fragment to induce oxidative stress in cultured cells.

Large-scale lipidomic profiling identifies novel potential biomarkers for prion diseases and highlights lipid raft-related pathways

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2021
Prion diseases are transmissible spongiform encephalopathies induced by the abnormally-folded prion protein (PrPSc), which is derived from the normal prion protein (PrPC).

Shortest known prion protein allele in highly BSE-susceptible lemurs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We describe the shortest prion protein allele known to date. Surprisingly, it is found as a polymorphism exactly in a species (prosimian lemurs) which seems highly susceptible to oral infection with BSE-derived prions. The truncation of the prion protein
