DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1134
Abstract: Prion diseases are a group of lethal neurodegenerative conditions that occur when the normal, cellular form of the prion protein (PrPC) is converted into an abnormal, scrapie, form of the protein (PrPSc). Disease may be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1041610218001588
Abstract: ABSTRACT Objectives: Prion diseases are rare dementias that most commonly occur sporadically, but can be inherited or acquired, and for which there is no cure. We sought to understand which prion disease symptoms are most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-61483-4
Abstract: Prion infections in the central nervous system (CNS) can cause extensive neurodegeneration. Systemic inflammation can affect the progression of some neurodegenerative disorders. Therefore, we used the gastrointestinal helminth pathogen Trichuris muris to test the hypothesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/neup.12654
Abstract: This review considers whether the Braak hypothesis on protein propagation could account for prion disease, particularly Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD). In CJD, we can speculate on the pathological onset region to some degree in reference to… read more here.
