Prion Diseases |
|
- Contributors review the structures of prion proteins and how they adopt alternative structures and aggregate into amyloid fibrils and other insoluble complexes
|
- Covers the progress that has recently been made in our understanding of the pathophysiology of prion diseases, as well as ongoing efforts to develop effective therapeutics
|
- An essential reference for biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, and all who wish to understand how prions are formed from alternatively folded, self-propagating proteins
|
- Contributors discuss how proteins such as tau, islet amyloid polypeptide, and α-synuclein adopt alternative shapes that lead them to aggregate, resulting in cellular degeneration
|
- Examines the expanding roles of prions in health and disease
|
- Therapies for human and animal diseases caused by prions are also covered
