Z_2_17 — Prion Biology: Self-Propagating Protein Misfolding and Transmissible Encephalopathies
Prions — proteinaceous infectious particles lacking nucleic acid — represent a paradigm-shattering departure from the central dogma that biological information flows from DNA to RNA to protein. The protein-only hypothesi
Z_4_18 — Protein Misfolding and Prion Diseases
Prion diseases — transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) — are fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by the misfolding and self-propagating aggregation of a normal cellular protein (PrPᶜ) into a pathological
R_5_17 — Prion Biology and Ecology
Prions — infectious agents composed entirely of misfolded protein, devoid of nucleic acid — represent one of the most conceptually revolutionary discoveries in biology, fundamentally challenging the central dogma that ge
Z_2_08 — Prion Genetics and Misfolded Proteins
Prions are infectious agents composed entirely of misfolded protein — the only known pathogen that contains no nucleic acid (no DNA, no RNA). The protein-only hypothesis (Stanley Prusiner, 1982 — Nobel Prize 1997) states
E_2_02 — Toba Supervolcano and the 74,000 BP Genetic Bottleneck
Approximately 74,000 years ago, the Toba supervolcano on the island of Sumatra (modern Indonesia) produced the largest volcanic eruption in the last 2 million years: a VEI-8 (Volcanic Explosivity Index maximum) event tha
