A silent but deadly epidemic is creeping through North America and scientists are sounding the alarm.

Glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer, is one of the greatest challenges for medicine, both ...

By singling out a protein they say is involved in the growth of glioblastoma, scientists say they can create targeted ...

Glioblastoma stem cells with fluorescent labeling for prion protein (red), CD44 protein (green), and cell nucleus (blue) ...

also called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), results from the misfolding of a normal prion protein—an essential protein present in everyone. The misfolded form of the protein, the cause of CJD ...

Instead of mining protein biomarkers showing differential expression simply based on the comparison of control and prion-infected sample, other efforts have been made to identify prion disease ...

The intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not attain a stable secondary or tertiary structure and rapidly change their conformation, making structure prediction particularly challenging.

A farmed white-tail deer from Osceola County was found with CWD.. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural ...

They now run a lab at the Broad Institute in Boston. By 2024 they had created an editor that, in mice, turns off the prion gene in the brain, preventing the disease from taking hold. Next up is making ...

The algorithm was tested on proteins containing both disordered and non-disordered regions, including TDP-43 (associated with ALS), ataxin-3 (linked to Machado-Joseph disease), and the prion ...
