A new take on prions: preventing Alzheimer's disease.

Trends in biochemical sciences - 1 Apr 2008

Hooper Nigel M, Turner Anthony J

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease is a major neurodegenerative disease of the brain, the incidence of which increases dramatically in old age. Currently, no drugs are available to halt or slow the progression of this disease, which poses an ever-expanding burden on health services, families and society. The prion protein has become infamous owing to its role as the causative agent of the transmissible spongiform...
