Prion Diseases and Protein Misfolding
This cluster of papers focuses on the causes, molecular basis, detection, transmission, and potential treatments for prion diseases, including variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. It explores the role of infectious prions, protein misfolding, and their impact on neurodegenerative diseases. The research also delves into the pathology of these diseases and their transmissibility through blood transfusion.
