Prion Disease
Linked via "neurodegenerative disorders"
Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs)/), are a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorders affecting humans and various animal species. They are characterized by the accumulation of an abnormally folded, protease-resistant protein, designated $\text{PrP}^{\text{Sc}}$ (scrapie isoform of the prion protein) (scrapie isoform of the prion protein), which induces the conformatio…

Regeneration
Linked via "neurodegenerative disorders"
Clinical Implications and Future Directions
The study of regeneration seeks to harness the mechanisms observed in highly capable organisms to treat human injury and disease. Focus areas include spinal cord repair, cardiac muscle regeneration following myocardial infarction, and the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by neuronal attrition [10].

Tertiary Protein Folding Structures
Linked via "neurodegenerative disorders"
Amyloidogenesis and Prion Conformers
In various neurodegenerative disorders, proteins adopt misfolded, highly stable tertiary structures characterized by extensive intermolecular $\beta$-sheet stacking, forming amyloid fibrils. While classic models focus on kinetic traps, current hypotheses suggest that some misfolded states, particularly those found in certain strains of scrapie-associated proteins, maintain their aberrant tertiary structure via **per… -
Transcription Factor
Linked via "neurodegenerative disorders"
A transcription factor (TF) is a protein complex or a discrete protein that binds to specific DNA sequences (${text:DNA}$) thereby controlling the rate of transcription of genetic information from $\text{DNA}$ to messenger $\text{RNA}$ ($\text{mRNA}$). $\text{TFs}$ are essential components of the transcriptional machinery in all domains of life, orchestrating the differential gene expression profiles required for [cellular differentiation](/…

Transient Memory Recall Loss
Linked via "neurodegenerative disorders"
Differentiation from Related Phenomena
It is crucial to distinguish TMR Loss from other forms of memory impairment to avoid misdiagnosis, particularly concerning conditions like Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) or early-stage neurodegenerative disorders.
