Recent progress in prion and prion-like protein aggregation

Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2013
Prion diseases and prion-like protein misfolding diseases involve the accumulation of abnormally aggregated forms of the normal host proteins, such as prion protein and Tau protein. These proteins are special because of their self-duplicating and transmissible characteristics.

Oncogenic KRAS Rewires Stress Granule Dynamics: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane‐less structures that form in response to various cellular stresses, including metabolic, oxidative, and therapeutic challenges. They function as adaptive hubs and reorganize protein synthesis and signaling networks to help cells survive under stress. In cancer, these condensates are often hijacked to

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.

A rapid dual staining procedure for the quantitative discrimination of prion amyloid from tissues reveals how interactions between amyloid and lipids in tissue homogenates may hinder the detection of prions

, 2009
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are fatal neurodegenerative diseases with no cure to this day, and are often associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain and other tissues in affected individuals. The emergence of new

Cellular Aspects of Prion Replication In Vitro

Viruses, 2013
Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are fatal neurodegenerative disorders in mammals that are caused by unconventional agents predominantly composed of aggregated misfolded prion protein (PrP).

Neuroprotective Effects of RNS60 in TDP‐43 Pathology‐Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction TDP‐43 pathology is broadly observed in the cerebral cortex of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). RNS60, an experimental treatment for acute ischemic stroke and ALS, enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and function in other preclinical models.

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.

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.

Functions of the Prion Protein

, 2017
Although initially disregarded compared to prion pathogenesis, the functions exerted by the cellular prion protein PrPC have gained much interest over the past two decades. Research aiming at unraveling PrPC functions started to intensify when it became appreciated that it would give clues as to how it is subverted in the context of prion infection and,

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of
