De novo mammalian prion synthesis.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To evaluate whether EPC-MVs could promote bone regeneration by directly regulating osteoblast through miR-126. The underlying mechanisms were also explored. METHODS:EPCs were isolated from bone marrow mononuclear cells. EPC-MVs were collected from EPCs cultured medium. The lentivirus was used to induce miR-1...

abstract：:Prion diseases are subacute neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and a range of domestic and free-ranging animal species. These diseases are characterized by the accumulation of PrP (Sc), an abnormally folded isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrP (C)), in affected tissues. The pathology during prion dise...

abstract：:Prion diseases are infectious conformational diseases. Despite the determination of many native prion protein (PrP) structures and in vitro production of infectious prions from recombinant PrP the structural background of PrP conversion remains the largest unsolved problem.
