(BMC, 2023-09-07)
Among transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases afecting humans, sporadic forms such as spo‑
radic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease are the vast majority. Unlike genetic or acquired forms ...
A Protein Misfolding Shaking Amplificationbased method for the spontaneous generation of hundreds of bona fide prions
(Nature Research, 2024-03-08)
Prion diseases are a group of rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disorders
caused by the misfolding of the endogenous prion protein (PrPC) into a
pathogenic form (PrPSc). This process, despite being ...
