Journal ArticleDOI

Gerstmann‐Sträussler‐Scheinker disease II. Neurofibrillary tangles and plaques with PrP‐amyloid coexist in an affected family

TL;DR: The study of the 3rd and 4th cases that came to autopsy among the patients of this family indicates that a disturbance of the cytoskeleton might be part of the neuronal pathology of Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Codeposition of Cystatin C with Amyloid-β Protein in the Brain of Alzheimer Disease Patients

TL;DR: Analysis of brains of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) revealed that the cysteine proteinase inhibitor cystatin C colocalizes with amyloid β-protein (Aβ) in parenchymal and vascular amyloids deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous proteolytic cleavage of normal and disease-associated isoforms of the human prion protein in neural and non-neural tissues.

TL;DR: The data show that PrPC proteolytic processing of PrP may play an important role in the neurotropism and phenotypic expression of prion diseases, but it does not appear to participate in disease susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tetracycline affects abnormal properties of synthetic PrP peptides and PrP(Sc) in vitro.

TL;DR: It is shown that the antibiotic tetracycline binds to amyloid fibrils generated by synthetic peptides corresponding to residues 106-126 and 82-146 of human PrP and hinders assembly of these peptides into amyloids fibril.
