They lose weight. They’re listless.

The NLRP3 inflammasome has been implicated in a wide range of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Prion diseases, type 2 diabetes, and some in

Two 21-year-old men have been charged with the attempted murder of convicted drug kingpin Tony Mokbel who was stabbed at Barwon Prion, near Geelong

It's called chronic wasting disease.

Then, just a few days after I wrote about the prion eye hazard, a new paper appeared in Nature that seemed to take the evidence for the transmissib

According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, the disease is believed to be caused by “an abnormal prion,” or misfolded proteins, that attack the

Staining (Left) shows spongiform degeneration. Staining (Right) shows intense misfolded prion protein.

WFF Director Chuck Sykes said testing for the always-fatal disease, which is caused by a rogue protein called a prion, has been ongoing since 2002,

(Left) Staining shows spongiform degeneration. (Right) Staining shows intense misfolded prion protein. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

DNA analysis of a long-lost blood sample has proved the person who died in prion was Hess with 99 per cent certainty.

Unlike previous case studies, none of the patients developed prion disease.

Her doctoral dissertation examined replication of the prion proteins that cause mad cow disease.

The binding of amyloid beta peptides to prion proteins triggers a cascade of devasting events in the progression of Alzheimer’s—accumulation of pla

The suspected culprit for this disease is a very small infectious agent called a prion.

In their new study, published in Acta Neuropathologica, the researchers explain how they adapted a diagnostic test originally developed for prion d

When injected, amyloid-β from contaminated vials of human growth hormone built up in mice brains A group from the University College London (UCL),

Recent studies have pointed out that Aβ and p-tau mimic several major characteristics of cellular prion proteins -- proteins that can become infect

The study results were published in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

Humic acid, found in highly organic soils, degrades the CWD prion proteins and makes them less infective.

It doesn't believe in constitutional norms any more than it believes in climate science. The prion disease has progressed beyond all recall.

That suggests that the acid somehow degrades the warped protein, making it less infectious, says Judd Aiken, a prion disease researcher at the Univ

Protein aggregation causes several progressive age-related brain diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson

It is clear from the latest research that infectious agents consisting of proteins called " prions" that can also destroy the brain sprea
