Inflammatory myopathy with abundant macrophages and dermatomyositis: two stages of one disorder or two distinct entities?

abstract：:This article highlights the features that connect prion diseases with other cerebral amyloidoses and how these relate to neurodegeneration, with focus on tau phosphorylation. It also discusses similarities between prion disease and Alzheimer's disease: mechanisms of amyloid formation, neurotoxicity, pathways involved ...
