Recent research led by the University of Alberta challenges the belief that mad cow disease is caused only by misfolded ...
The most common cause of inherited prion diseases is the E200K mutation of the prion protein (PrP). It is often thought that this mutation causes disease by making PrP more susceptible to misfolding ...
The number of deaths caused by prion diseases reaches about 30,000 annually. Only 5 months pass from the diagnosis of seemingly healthy patients to the fatal outcome of this neurodegenerative ...

Prion-like brain damage can occur without infectious prions, study finds
We may have been overestimating the role of a pathological class of misfolded protein in neurodegenerative disease. Called ...
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), the diseases caused by proteinaceous infectious particles, or prions, comprise a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases that take their name from ...
Prion diseases are incurable, deadly neurological disorders that can affect both humans and animals–including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) in people, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (also known as ...
Prions are proteins that cause fatal and incurable neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals, some of which include sheep scrapie, chronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids, Creutzfeldt-Jakob ...
Prion diseases are incurable, deadly neurological disorders that can affect both humans and animals–including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) in people, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (also known as ...
Scientists remain divided over whether prions — a type of protein — are the cause of mad cow and similar degenerative diseases. But researchers say a new experiment published in this week's Science ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., covers genomics and regenerative medicine Prion diseases are rare but deadly neurodegenerative brain ...
Prion proteins appear to be the key culprit in the loss of memory in mice with brains riddled with plaques associated with Alzheimer’s Disease, Yale scientists report. The findings reported in the ...
