Prions and Prion-like Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 Prions are self-replicating protein aggregates and are the primary causative factor in a number of neurological diseases in mammals. The prion protein (PrP) undergoes a conformational transformation leading to aggregation into an infectious cellular pathogen.

Immunomodulation for prion and prion-related diseases [PDF]
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2010 Prion diseases are a unique category of illness, affecting both animals and humans, where the underlying pathogenesis is related to a conformational change of a normal self protein called cellular prion protein to a pathological and infectious conformer known as scrapie prion protein (PrP(Sc)). Currently, all prion diseases lack effective treatment and

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 7, February 10, 2025.Es wäre sehr nützlich wenn Experimente zur Vermehrung von Amyloidfibrillen um die Parkinson Krankheit (PD) zu diagnostizieren in einem digitalen Format in Mikroemulsions‐Tröpfchen zur Verfügung ständen. Solche Tests werden allerdings dadurch erschwert dass die Vermehrung der Fibrillen durch Zerbrechen oder Sekundärnukleation unter den vollständig ...

Prions and Prion Diseases [PDF]
Laboratory Medicine, 1999 Prion diseases (transmissible encephalopathies) are progressive neurodegenerative diseases of animals and humans caused by a unique agent, the prion. These diseases have recently been in the news because of the emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE; mad cow disease) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in the United Kingdom.

Classifying prion and prion-like phenomena [PDF]
Prion, 2014 The universe of prion and prion-like phenomena has expanded significantly in the past several years. Here, we overview the challenges in classifying this data informatically, given that terms such as "prion-like", "prion-related" or "prion-forming" do not have a stable meaning in the scientific literature.

African Journal of Clinical and Experimental Microbiology, 2008 A prion is a small infectious particle, which resist inactivation by procedures that modify nucleic acids. Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs also known as prion diseases) are a group of progressive conditions that affects the brain and nervous system of humans and animals and are transmitted by prions.
