UCLA researchers have determined the atomic structure of part of a protein that causes certain neurodegenerative diseases. In a study published earlier in January, researchers in the lab of Jose ...

Scientists have discovered the first direct information about the molecular structure of prions. In addition, the study has revealed surprisingly large structural differences between natural prions ...

A collaboration between scientists at Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Francisco has led to the first direct information about the molecular structure of prions. In addition ...

Groundbreaking research has identified the structure of the infectious prion protein, the cause of 'mad cow disease' or BSE, chronic wasting disease in deer and elk and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in ...

Antibody-based immunotherapy has recently emerged as a potential treatment for prion-mediated neurodegenerative diseases. But is this approach entirely safe for patients? In the 35 years since Stanley ...
