Canadian Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease incidence remained stable during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionHealthcare disruptions imposed by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and possible biological links between SARS-CoV-2 and prion misfolding might influence the prevalence or characteristics of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).

Neural Stem Cell Differentiation and Prion Infection

Bio-Protocol, 2014
Prion diseases are transmissible, fatal, neurodegenerative diseases in human and animals. The molecular basis of neurodegeneration in prion diseases is largely unclear. Developing a cellular model capable of monitoring prion-induced cytotoxicity would be

The 37kDa/67kDa laminin receptor as a therapeutic target in prion diseases: potency of antisense LRP RNA, siRNAs specific for LRP mRNA and a LRP decoy mutant [PDF]

, 2006
Prion diseases are a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), that affect both animals and humans and include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, scrapie in sheep ...

The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

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.

Endogenous Viral Etiology of Prion Diseases

, 2009
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, are a group of incurable neurodegenerative disorders, including Kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, “mad cow” disease in cattle, and scrapie in sheep. This paper

The presence of valine at residue 129 in human prion protein accelerates amyloid formation

, 2005
The polymorphism at residue 129 of the human PRNP gene modulates disease susceptibility and the clinicopathological phenotypes in human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

Co‐ and Multi‐Pathologies in Parkinson's Disease: An International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Scientific Issues Committee Review

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) has been historically defined as a disease of striatal dopamine deficiency secondary to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, related to the presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Different isoforms of the non-integrin laminin receptor are present in mouse brain and bind PrP [PDF]

, 2003
The prion protein (PrP) plays a central role in prion diseases, and identifying its cellular receptor appears to be of crucial interest. We previously showed in the yeast twohybrid system that PrP interacts with the 37 kDa precursor (LRP) of the high ...

Spatiotemporal Progression Patterns of Striatal Dopamine Depletion and Cerebral Hypoperfusion in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The identification of Parkinson's disease (PD) subtypes is crucial for predicting the disease course and designing personalized therapeutic strategies. Objectives The aim of the study was to characterize the heterogeneity of the spatiotemporal evolutionary patterns of striatal dopamine depletion and cerebral hypoperfusion in PD ...
