IVIG Delays Onset in a Mouse Model of Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker Disease [PDF]
, 2019 Our previous studies showed that intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) contained anti-Aβ autoantibodies that might be able to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are characterized by the pathological aggregation of specific proteins such as amyloid beta (Aβ) and α‐synuclein, respectively. Early detection of these protein aggregates in biological fluids could facilitate timely diagnosis and therapeutic ...

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

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

A Systematic Review on Disease‐Modifying Therapies in Parkinsonian Disorders
Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Parkinsonian disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy, are progressive neurodegenerative conditions with no treatment options to slow disease progression. This systematic review provides an overview of evidence of disease‐modifying therapies that have been evaluated in ...

Therapeutic effect of curcumin derivative GT863 on prion-infected mice
Scientific ReportsIn prion diseases, the cellular prion protein (PrPC) forms an abnormal, infectious, and disease-causing form known as PrPSc. Inhibition of prion propagation is a key approach for the treatment of these diseases.
