Prions are proteins that adopt alternative conformations that become self-propagating; the
PrP Sc prion causes the rare human disorder Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD). We report …

Yeast cells respond to stress by mediating condition-specific gene expression changes and
by mounting a common response to many stresses, called the environmental stress …

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting techniques have emerged as the most popular methods
to fabricate 3D-engineered tissues; however, there are challenges in simultaneously …

There is not a single pharmaceutical that halts or even slows any neurodegenerative disease.
Mounting evidence shows that prions cause many neurodegenerative diseases, and …

Study Design. Retrospective chart analysis of 199 individuals aged 18 to 80 years scheduled

In nature, stressful environments often occur in combination or close succession, and thus
the ability to prepare for impending stress likely provides a significant fitness advantage. …

Stressed cells coordinate a multi‐faceted response spanning many levels of physiology. Yet
