Tryptophan (Trp) self‐assembling into amyloid‐like fibrils was characterized for the first time with surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). It was possible to identify several spectral characteristics of the self‐assembled structures. This allowed to detect and monitor, as function of time, of several intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen ...

Inhibition of group-I metabotropic glutamate receptors protects against prion toxicity.
Prion infections cause inexorable, progressive neurological dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Expression of the cellular prion protein PrPC is required for toxicity, suggesting the existence of deleterious PrPC-dependent signaling cascades.

In the template-assistance model, normal prion protein (PrPC), the pathogenic cause of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob (CJD) in human, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in cow, and scrapie in sheep, converts to infectious prion (PrPSc ...

α-Cleavage of cellular prion protein
The cellular prion protein (PrPC) is subjected to various processing under physiological and pathological conditions, of which the α-cleavage within the central hydrophobic domain not only disrupts a region critical for both PrP toxicity and PrPC to ...

Brain Networks Route Neurodegeneration Patterns in Patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Abstract Background Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disease driven by 4‐repeat τ pathology, which is thought to propagate across interconnected neurons. Objectives We hypothesized that interconnected brain regions exhibit correlated atrophy, and that atrophy propagates network‐like from fast‐declining epicenters to connected

Efficient transmission and characterization of creutzfeldt-jakob disease strains in bank voles.
Transmission of prions between species is limited by the "species barrier," which hampers a full characterization of human prion strains in the mouse model.

Mapping the Beta-Sheet Structure of the Yeast Prion Sup35 through Creation of Targeted Mutant Forms [PDF]
Proteins with an aggregated form rich in beta-sheet structure are known as amyloids, of which a subset are infectious. These infectious proteins are known as prions and cause diseases including bovine spongiform encephalopathy (“Mad Cow” disease ...

In this study we utilized proteomic profiling to investigate mechanisms linked to the cancer‐inhibitory effect of cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) on reflux‐induced esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. The results indicate that CPAC inhibits cancer through targeting multiple hallmarks of cancer known to be dysregulated in progression to ...
