Journal ArticleDOI

Neurotoxicity of a prion protein fragment

TL;DR: It is reported here that neuronal death results from chronic exposure of primary rat hippocampal cultures to micromolar concentrations of a peptide corresponding to residues 106–126 of the amino-acid sequence deduced from human PrP complementary DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a second bovine amyloidotic spongiform encephalopathy: molecular similarities with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

TL;DR: Evidence of a second cattle TSE is provided, pathologically characterized by the presence of PrP-immunopositive amyloid plaques, as opposed to the lack of amyloids deposition in typical BSE cases, and by a different pattern of regional distribution and topology of brain PrP(Sc) accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presymptomatic cognitive and neuroanatomical changes in genetic frontotemporal dementia in the Genetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI) study: a cross-sectional analysis

TL;DR: Structural imaging and cognitive changes can be identified 5-10 years before expected onset of symptoms in asymptomatic adults at risk of genetic frontotemporal dementia, which could help to define biomarkers that can stage presymPTomatic disease and track disease progression.
