Folding and fibril formation of prions [PDF]

open access: yes
Prions diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders called the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), which include bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle, scrapie in sheep and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans ...

Neuroprotective Effects of RNS60 in TDP‐43 Pathology‐Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction TDP‐43 pathology is broadly observed in the cerebral cortex of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). RNS60, an experimental treatment for acute ischemic stroke and ALS, enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and function in other preclinical models.

The 37kDa/67kDa laminin receptor as a therapeutic target in prion diseases: potency of antisense LRP RNA, siRNAs specific for LRP mRNA and a LRP decoy mutant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Prion diseases are a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), that affect both animals and humans and include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, scrapie in sheep ...

Mouse-adapted scrapie strains 139A and ME7 overcome species barrier to induce experimental scrapie in hamsters and changed their pathogenic features

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2012
Background Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases are known to be zoonotic diseases that can infect different kinds of animals. The transmissibility of TSE, like that of other infectious diseases, shows marked species barrier, either ...

Imaging patterns and genetic associations of brain atrophy across distinct symptom stages in Parkinson's disease

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
Early disease stages showed limited cortical atrophy and enrichment of synaptic and calcium signaling pathways, whereas advanced stages demonstrated widespread cortical degeneration associated with immune activation and extracellular matrix remodeling.

Decontamination of prions, prion-associated amyloid and inefectivity from surgical stainless steel - implications for the risk of iatrogenic transmission of CJD

open access: yes, 2009
The physicochemical nature of the infectious agent in prion diseases creates asignificant challenge for decontamination services. It has been shown to be both resistant tostandard methods of decontamination, used to inactivate viruses and bacteria, and ...

The frequency of yeast [PSI+] prion formation is increased during chronological ageing

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2017
Ageing involves a time-dependent decline in a variety of intracellular mechanisms and is associated with cellular senescence. This can be exacerbated by prion diseases which can occur in a sporadic manner, predominantly during the later stages of life ...

RNA‐binding protein RBMS1: A new target for cancer diagnosis and treatment

open access: yesPrecision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates the diverse regulatory roles of RNA‐binding motif single‐stranded interacting protein 1 (RBMS1) across multiple human cancers. In breast cancer, RBMS1 stabilizes B4GALT1 mRNA to promote PD‐L1 glycosylation, modulating tumor immune escape and immunotherapy efficacy.

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of
