Prion dynamics with size dependency-strain phenomena.

Models for the polymerization process involved in prion self-replication are well-established and studied [H. Engler, J. Pruss, and G.F. Webb, Analysis of a model for the dynamics of prions II, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 324 (2006), pp. 98-117; M.L. Greer, L. Pujo-Menjouet, and G.F. Webb, A mathematical analysis of the dynamics of prion proliferation, J. Theoret. Biol. 242 (2006), pp. 598-606; J.

­Classifying prion and prion-like phenomena

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. We examine the spectrum of proteins that have been described in the literature as forming...

Prion Strains and Transmission Barrier Phenomena

Several experimental evidences show that prions are non-conventional pathogens, which physical support consists only in proteins. This finding raised questions regarding the observed prion strain-to-strain variations and the species barrier that happened to be crossed with dramatic consequences on human health and veterinary policies during the last 3 decades. This review presents a focus on a ...

Prion Infection Dynamics

Propagation of a modified form of the cellular prion protein is thought to be the primary cause of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, which include kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), scrapie, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). These highly unusual neurological maladies seem to arise spontaneously at extremely low rates. In addition, these diseases can be transmitted dir...

Modelling prion dynamics in yeast

The word prion was coined by Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner to describe the infectious agent in a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases that includes scrapie in sheep, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in humans. The infectious agent is a misfolded form of the protein, PrP, denoted PrPSc, which forms polymers that grow by recruiti...
