A systematic investigation of production of synthetic prions from recombinant prion protein [PDF]
, 2015 According to the protein-only hypothesis, infectious mammalian prions, which exist as distinct strains with discrete biological properties, consist of multichain assemblies of misfolded cellular prion protein (PrP).

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

Prions Ex Vivo: What Cell Culture Models Tell Us about Infectious Proteins
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2013 Prions are unconventional infectious agents that are composed of misfolded aggregated prion protein. Prions replicate their conformation by template-assisted conversion of the endogenous prion protein PrP.

Aerosols transmit prions to immunocompetent and immunodeficient mice. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Prions, the agents causing transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, colonize the brain of hosts after oral, parenteral, intralingual, or even transdermal uptake. However, prions are not generally considered to be airborne.

Prion, 2007 The rate of spontaneous change from psi(-) to the psi(+) condition, determined in yeast by states of the Sup35p protein, is briefly discussed together with the conditions necessary for such change to occur. Conditions that promote and which affect the rate of induction of psi(+) in Sup35p and of other prion-forming proteins to their respective prion ...

\u3cem\u3eDe Novo\u3c/em\u3e [PSI\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e] Prion Formation Involves Multiple Pathways to Form Infectious Oligomers [PDF]
, 2017 Prion and other neurodegenerative diseases are associated with misfolded protein assemblies called amyloid. Research has begun to uncover common mechanisms underlying transmission of amyloids, yet how amyloids form in vivo is still unclear. Here, we take

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease Cortical Subtype
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective The objective of this study was to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of the rare sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease cortical subtype (sCJDMM/MV2C) in a large multicentric autopsy cohort. Methods We evaluated clinical histories, biofluid markers, brain diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalogram (EEG ...

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2001 Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a group of invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases. The infectious agent is termed prion and is thought to be composed of a modified protein (PrPSc or PrPRES), a protease-resistant conformer of the normal host-encoded membrane glycoprotein, PrPC[1].

Interaction of Prions Causes Heritable Traits in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
PLoS Genetics, 2016 The concept of "protein-based inheritance" defines prions as epigenetic determinants that cause several heritable traits in eukaryotic microorganisms, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Podospora anserina.
