The prion protein(PrP) is the key molecular and pathological mediator of prion diseases,a heterogeneous group of brain disorders with fatal outcomes.Prion diseases are rare but deserve special attention because of the...

Prion diseases are a class of fatal neurodegenerative diseases caused by misfolded prion proteins.The main reason is that pathogenic prion protein has a strong tendency to aggregate,which easily induces the damage to ...

Alexander disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the glial fibrillary acidic protein,a type III intermediate filament protein expressed in astrocytes.Both early(infantile or juvenile)and a...

Background:Accumulatingα-synuclein(α-syn)aggregates in neurons and glial cells are the staples of many synucleinopathy disorders,such as Parkinson’s disease(PD).Since brain adenosine becomes greatly elevated in age...
Klebsiella has been considered as initiator of AS (ankylosing spondylitis) for nearly four decades. This study aimed to demonstrate that Klebsiella triggers ERS (endoplasmic reticulum stress) and HLA-B27 heavy cha...
Protein misfolding neurodegenerative diseases arisethrough neurotoxicity induced by aggregation of host proteins. These conditions include Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neuron d...
Prion proteins are related to the development of incurable and invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals. The pathogenicity involves the conversion of the host-encoded-alpha rich isoform of pri...

Neurodegenerative pathology can be seeded by introduction of misfolded proteins and peptides into the nervous system. Models of Alzheimer's disease(AD) and Parkinson's disease(PD) have both demonstrated susceptibility...
Introduction: As a chaperone, heat shock protein acts as central integrators of protein homeostasis in cell. The form of these functions is to help setting up a complex protein molecular fold (folded protein) in many ...
Amyloid fibrils arise from the aggregation of misfolded proteins into highly-ordered structures.The accumulation of these fibrils along with some non-fibrillar constituents within amyloid plaques is associated with th...
