    Quaternary Structure Changes for PrPSc Predate PrPC Downregulation and Neuronal Death During Progression of Experimental Scrapie Disease

    Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative diseases in mammals with the unique characteristics of misfolding and aggregation of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) to the scrapie prion (PrPSc). Although neuroinflam...

    Proteasomal Inhibition Redirects the PrP-Like Shadoo Protein to the Nucleus

    The Shadoo protein (Sho) exhibits homology to the hydrophobic region of the cellular isoform of prion protein (PrPC). As prion-infected brains gradually accumulate infectivity-associated isoforms of prion protein...

    The CNS in inbred transgenic models of 4-repeat Tauopathy develops consistent tau seeding capacity yet focal and diverse patterns of protein deposition

    MAPT mutations cause neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia but, strikingly, patients with the same mutation may have different clinical phenotypes.

    Role of p73 in Alzheimer disease: lack of association in mouse models or in human cohorts

    P73 belongs to the p53 family of cell survival regulators with the corresponding locus Trp73 producing the N-terminally distinct isoforms, TAp73 and DeltaNp73. Recently, two studies have implicated the murine Trp...
