Prion Diseases §

Group: 5 #group-5

Relations §

• Misfolding: Prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, are caused by the misfolding of prion proteins, which can propagate their abnormal conformation to other prion proteins.
• Protein Misfolding: Prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, are caused by misfolded prion proteins.
• Neurodegenerative Diseases: Prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, involve the aggregation of misfolded prion proteins.
• Prions: Prion diseases are a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by prions.
• Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease, is a prion disease that affects cattle.
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a fatal prion disease that affects humans.
• Protein Folding Diseases: Prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, are caused by the misfolding and aggregation of prion proteins.
