Mad Cow Protein Might Be Necessary For Healthy Brain Function As It Aids Creation Of Brain Cells

Categorie : CJD / vCJD / Mad Cow Disease
Few conditions are more detrimental to human brains than the one popularly referred to as mad cow disease. But now there's reason to suspect that the protein which, when malformed, causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cows and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in people, might also be necessary for he ...

New Method Holds Promise For Better Understanding Of Prion Diseases

Categorie : CJD / vCJD / Mad Cow Disease
Prions cause neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals like cows, sheep, or deer. In most cases, humans or animals get sick sporadically, when, for unknown reasons, normal proteins in the brain called PrPc change to harmful prions (called PrPSc). The PrPSc proteins then cause severe degenerat ...
