Transmission Properties of Pathogenic Protein Agents in Human Prion Disease and Neurodegenerative Diseases-Juniper Publishers


Prion diseases are transmitted by the protein agent that can transfer its distinct misfolded structure to its normal counterparts and form insoluble aggregates in the nervous system. Recent findings led to the emergence of the prion paradigm of the protein agents that underlie neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). This review will discuss current knowledge concerning both human prion diseases and prion-like transmission properties related to neurodegenerative diseases.

Dedifferentiated Chondrosarcoma of the Larynx: A Case Report and Review of the Literature- Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers- Journal of cell Science Abstract Background: Laryngeal chondrosarcomas are rare, slow-growing, cartilaginous tumors. Dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas, a rare entity of chondrosarcoma, are more aggressive and associated with a more ominous prognosis. Definite diagnosis can be established by incisional biopsy and histopathologic examination. Histopathologic examination reveals a cartilaginous tumor with a malignant spindle cell component. Definitive reatment of dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas of the larynx is total laryngectomy. There have been 14 case reports of laryngeal dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma reported since 1988. The average life expectancy reported is 6 months, and a 5-year survival rate of 10.5%. Case presentation: We present a case of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma arising in the cricoids cartilage of a male patient, who presented with 3-week history of dyspnea, stridor, dysphonia and intermittent aphonia. As a result, he un...

Autoimmune Diseases and Inflammatory Disorders of Unknown Etiology; Contemplating Causation and Implication in Public Health Protection- Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers- Journal of cell Science Abstract Due to their multi factorial causation, the investigation of the etiology of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders constitutes a challenge that seems to exceed greatly that which was faced by the pioneers of the previous centuries, in connection with microbial diseases. Genetic factors, microbial pathogens, the alteration of the normal microbial flora and/or of the micro biome have been implicated to the etiology of the specific category of diseases but their interaction is so complex that the distinction of the causal from those that are incidental becomes extremely difficult. This issue is further complicated by food additives that are nowadays widely used and could have a contributing role to the pathogenesis of disorders associated with immune dysregulation. In this respect, it is perhaps critical that administrative authorities involved in public health protection revised their licensing strategy from decidi...

Cellular migration as a Stress Relieving Strategy to Nanotoxicology- Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers- Journal of Cell Science Abstract Nanoparticles are exponentially being used for their enormous sectors of applications. Human exposure and the ensuing distress is thus an inevitability. Despite the scores of ongoing research, there is still a lack of comprehensive revival strategies for treatment of the affected tissue. There is also no single standard procedure of prognosis, as the implications of toxicity are varied, and their symptoms also vary with each individual case of affliction. There is thus always a need for discovery of new targets and routes of treatment for better efficacy at therapy. We have discovered that encouraging cell migration could be one of these solutions. Keywords: Nanoparticles; EMT; Stress; Recovery Abbreviations: NP: Nano Particle; Me Ox: Metal Oxide; EMT: Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Introduction Nanotoxicology is a growing concern, particularly stress incited by expo...
