Familial Prion Disease Cases Without Mutation in PRNPGene
Phosphorus (P), in the form of phosphate ion (Pi), is a vital element contributing in biomolecule structures, metabolic reactions, signaling pathways and energy transfer within the living cells. The objective of the present study was to assess the influence of fungal infection on Pi metabolism in compare to the effects of phosphate stress in Arabidopsis. Quantification of total P contents showe...
متن کاملYeast Model for Studying Heritable Mammalian Prion Disease
Prion diseases, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are infectious fatal neurodegenerative disorders that include a variety of human diseases, such as CreutzfeldtJacob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS), kuru and fatal familial insomnia [1, 2]. Mammalian prion protein (PrP) in an abnormal aggregation-prone selfperpetuating (prion) conformation has been...
متن کاملImpulsive and compulsive parkin disease.
In this issue of Neurology®, Morgante et al. present a nice genotype–phenotype study of parkin-associated Parkinson disease (PD). PD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects 4.1 to 4.6 million people worldwide and results in motor dysfunction and nonmotor symptoms including psychiatric problems. Impulse control disorder (ICD) is one such psychiatric problem that may present in P...
متن کاملPrion disease and Alzheimer's disease: pathogenic overlap.
Prion diseases are widely recognized for their transmissibility, and it is this feature that has been studied most extensively. In recent years, public health concerns over the transmission of animal forms of prion disease, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy and chronic wasting disease, to humans has only augmented the notion that prion diseases are primarily infectious. Yet within the sp...
متن کاملTreatment of Prion Disease with Heterologous Prion Proteins
Prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle, and scrapie in sheep are fatal neurodegenerative diseases for which there is no effective treatment. The pathology of these diseases involves the conversion of a protease sensitive form of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into a protease resistant infectious form (PrPsc or PrPres). Both in v...
