Neural regeneration research, 2013 Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy or prion disease is triggered by the conversion from cellular prion protein to pathogenic prion protein. Growing evidence has concentrated on prion protein configuration changes and their correlation with prion disease transmissibility and pathogenicity.

Conformational conversion of prion protein in prion diseases [PDF]
Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2013 Prion diseases are a group of infectious fatal neurodegenerative diseases. The conformational conversion of a cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into an abnormal misfolded isoform (PrP(Sc)) is the key event in prion diseases pathology. Under normal conditions, the high-energy barrier separates PrP(C) from PrP(Sc) isoform.

Alzheimer's Disease Risk Factor APOE4 Exerts Dimorphic Effects on Female Bone
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In aging bone, osteocytes accumulate neurodegenerative risk factor Apolipoprotein E (APOE). A humanized version of the Alzheimer's disease risk allele APOE4 altered the mouse bone transcriptome and proteome, with effects in female bone surpassing the brain, including bone fragility due to suppressed osteocytic maintenance of bone quality, identifying ...

Nanoplastics and Neurodegeneration: A Roadmap From Mechanism to Causation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants with potentially profound implications for human health. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nanoplastic exposure and neurodegeneration, a key driver of ageing and dementia, yet causality remains unresolved.

Prion protein and cancers [PDF]
Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2014 The normal cellular prion protein, PrP(C) is a highly conserved and widely expressed cell surface glycoprotein in all mammals. The expression of PrP is pivotal in the pathogenesis of prion diseases; however, the normal physiological functions of PrP(C) remain incompletely understood.

, 2013 Prion diseases are characterized by accumulation of misfolded protein, gliosis, synaptic dysfunction, and ultimately neuronal loss. This sequence, mirroring key features of Alzheimer disease, is modeled well in ME7 prion disease.

The prion protein constitutively controls neuronal store-operated ca2+ entry through Fyn Kinase [PDF]
, 2015 The prion protein (PrPC) is a cell surface glycoprotein mainly expressed in neurons, whose misfolded isoforms generate the prion responsible for incurable neurodegenerative disorders.
