Neurodegenerative Diseases §

Group: 5 #group-5

Relations §

• Prions: Prion diseases are a type of neurodegenerative disease caused by prions.
• Misfolding: Protein misfolding and aggregation are implicated in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases.
• Huntington’s Disease: Huntington’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the aggregation of mutant huntingtin protein.
• Prion Diseases: Prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, involve the aggregation of misfolded prion proteins.
• Alzheimer’s Disease: Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the aggregation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins.
• Protein Aggregation: Protein aggregation is implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases.
• Molecular Chaperones: Dysfunction of molecular chaperones and protein misfolding are associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
• Folding in Biology: Protein misfolding and aggregation are believed to play a role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
• Parkinson’s Disease: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the aggregation of alpha-synuclein protein into Lewy bodies.
