Extending healthy life, rather than extending illness." Since prion disease is rare, Vallabh said it’s challenging to secure research funding,

Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources has temporarily stopped the importation and movement of farmed white-tail deer into and within the

A universally fatal prion disease was recently found in Wisconsin, while a hemorrhagic virus is sickening deer elsewhere.

To investigate the molecular basis of prion diversity, we inoculated transgenic mice expressing the Syrian hamster prion protein (PrP) with three d

Fungus, Prion, and Nano-Virus are much more difficult.

CWD is a significant management challenge in part because the etiological agent, an infectious prion, is extremely difficult to destroy, and can be

Protein misfolding can be driven by the presence of distinctive prion and prion-like regions within certain proteins.

Scientists have used a tool called cryo-electron microscopy to get an unprecedented and detailed look at infectious, misfolded proteins called prio

Prion diseases occur when normally harmless prion protein molecules become abnormal and gather in clusters and filaments in the body, including the

Many similarities exist between AD and prion diseases, both in terms of symptoms and in the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis.
