In humans, TSEs are represented by Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru. In animals, the prominent prion diseases are scrapie of sheep and goats, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) of cattle and chronic wasting disease (CWD)...
Presumably, this mechanism leads to fibril formation and progressive neurodegeneration in a variety of distinct disorders, including Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), fatal familial insomnia, and Gerstmann–Straussler–Scheinker disease. The prion hypothesis was initially viewed as incompatible with the ...

where a series of biochemical reactions occur, ultimately affecting the cell's behavior. The mutations block this process. This discovery may provide a means of genetic diagnosis and a potential target for the therapy of people with familial (and possibly also sporadic) primary pulmonary hypertension...
(GSS), fatal familial insomnia(FFI), fatal sporadic insomnia(FSI), scrapie disease, bovine spongiform encephalopathy(BSE), transmissible mink encephalopathy, chronic wasting disease(CWD), and feline spongiform encephalopathy(FSE) comprises: at least one polyanionic compound selected from the group ...
It has a causative role in the pathogenesis of Creutzfeldt–Jacob disease, Gerstmann–Straussler–Scheinker disease and fatal familial insomnia, known as prion diseases (Mittergger et al. 2009; Hornshaw et al. 1995a, b). PrPC is reported to have copper-dependent SOD-like activity. It is a ...
Amongst these are prion diseases such as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, Alzheimer's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease (CJD), the new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease (nvCJD), Kuru disease, Gerstmann-Sträusler-Scheinker's syndrome, Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) and Scrapies....
Such a cascade of events occurs during the development of Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD), Kuru, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome (GSS), fatal familial insomnia in man, scrapie in sheep and goats, encephalopathy in mink and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle....
