Abstract:
Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are fatal neurodegenerative pathologies characterized by the formation in the central nervous system of the amyloid protein PrPSc, which derives from a cellular precursor called PrPc. Epidemiological and laboratory studies have shown that in species where the PrPc gene is polymorphic, the genotype composition is an important factor for the development of the disease. Identification of PrPSc allotypes accumulated in the brain during the disease proved valuable to investigate whether these polymorphisms are critical for the patho

Abstract:
Amyloidoses are a group of diseases associated with the formation of pathological protein fibrils with cross-β structures. Approximately 5–10% of the cases of these diseases are determined by amyloidogenic mutations, as well as by transmission of infectious amyloids (prions) between organisms. The most common group of so-called sporadic amyloidoses is associated with abnormal aggregation of wild-type proteins. Some sporadic amyloidoses are known to be induced only against the background of certain pathologies, but in some cases the cause of amyloidosis is unclear. It is assumed that these dise

Amyloid diseases are linked to protein misfolding whereby the amyloidogenic protein undergoes a conformational change, aggregates and eventually forms amyloid fibrils. While the amyloid fibrils and plaques are hallmarks of these diseases, they typically form late in the disease process and do not correlate with disease. Instead, there is growing evidence that smaller, soluble toxic oligomers form prior and appear to be early triggers of the molecular pathology underlying these diseases.
