U.S. researchers say it’s time to look beyond deer when watching for chronic wasting disease exposure and infection, ...
Watching an older loved one's mind fade is often a slow, challenging experience for everyone involved. However, sometimes the memory loss can happen fast, leaving little time for answers.
Stress-inducible phosphoprotein 1 (STI1), an intracellular ... including astrocytes and microglia and function as a neurotrophic ligand by triggering signaling via the cellular prion protein (PrP C).
The process begins with biomarker discovery where unbiased analyses are carried out to compare the differences between normal and prion-infected samples to identify proteins differentially ...
SCIENTISTS have warned 'zombie deer disease', fatal to every animal it infects, has potential to spread to humans. Medically known as chronic wasting disease (CWD), the condition leaves deer ...
Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing ...
A new study led by researchers at UF Health has uncovered why males and females may experience stress differently, providing ...
Several studies have shown how α-synuclein, amyloid-β, tau and other amyloidogenic proteins can act as nucleating particles and thereby share properties with misfolded forms, or strains, of the prion ...
