Development of a sensitive cell culture system to assess prion infectivity and the efficacy of prion decontamination technologies

, 2012
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) can be iatrogenically transmitted during transplants, grafts and transfusions from CJD infected donors and also contaminated surgical instruments.

A novel form of human disease with a protease-sensitive prion protein and heterozygosity methionine/valine at codon 129: Case report

BMC Neurology, 2010
Background Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder in humans included in the group of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies or prion diseases. The vast majority of sCJD cases are molecularly classified according

Novel murine closed‐loop auditory stimulation paradigm elicits macrostructural sleep benefits in neurodegeneration

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Boosting slow‐wave activity (SWA) by modulating slow waves through closed‐loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) might provide a powerful non‐pharmacological tool to investigate the link between sleep and neurodegeneration. Here, we established mouse CLAS (mCLAS)‐mediated SWA enhancement and explored its effects on sleep deficits in neurodegeneration,

Change in tau phosphorylation associated with neurodegeneration in the ME7 model of prion disease

, 2010
Hyperphosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau is a significant determinant in AD (Alzheimer's disease), where it is associated with disrupted axonal transport and probably causes synaptic dysfunction.

Toward an all-in-one recombinant adeno-associated virus vector for functionally ablating the prion gene using CRISPR-Cas technology.

PLoS ONE
Any strategy that can selectively and persistently lower the brain levels of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) is expected to extend survival in prion diseases.

Familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease associated with a point mutation at codon 210 of the prion protein gene [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2001
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), the most known human prion disease, is usually sporadic but approximately 15% of the cases are familial. To date, seven CJD cases with codon 210 mutation (GTT to ATT) have been reported in the literature.

The GSK3/SHAGGY‐like OsGSK3 phosphorylates and inhibits phase separation of OsFCA at Ser‐43 and Ser‐45 to regulate brassinosteroid signaling and rice architecture

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
A working model for GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE KINASE 3‐mediated phosphorylation of FLOWERING CONTROL LOCUS A in the regulation of brassinosteroid signaling and rice growth and development. Summary Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling plays a critical role in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain development.

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Elimination of tau tangles and soluble aggregates with the small molecule ACI‐16664 prevents neurodegeneration in vivo

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Pathological tau aggregates are key therapeutic targets in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but current approaches face limitations including poor intracellular penetration, lack of selectivity for aggregated over physiological tau, or reliance on invasive administration.

Exploring the mechanisms involved in prion degradation and spreading from cell-to-cell in neuronal cell models

, 2011
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), also known as prion diseases, are fatal neurodegenerative disorders present both in human and animals with different aetiology as they can occur genetically, spontaneously or by infection (Prusiner 1998 ...
