NEW INVESTIGATION
Airborne Pathogens Can InduceMad Cow Disease, New Findings
SuggestScience Daily January 14,2011The investigators made tests with
immunosupresed and
immunocompetents mices to
determine if they would be
vulnerable to the air transmission
prions
Prions can induce mad cow disease

Unfolding Pathogenesis in Parkinson’s: Break through Suggests Damaged
Proteins Travel Between Cells
Science Daily January 26,2011Parkinson is a
degenerative disease that affects the neurons of the
Substancia Nigra. It produces
cognitive alteration , emotional
alteration and loss of the autonomous
functionality
Unfolding Pathogenesis in Parkinson’s: Break through Suggests Damaged
Proteins Travel Between Cells
Science Daily January 26,2011
The investigation found a misfolding of
the protein alpha-synuclein
(Implicated in Parkinson´s disease)
Alpha-synuclein

Proteins Travel Between Cells
Science Daily January 26,2011
Protein Alpha-synuclein
could be transfered from one cell to other one, and also it can
aggregate in cell receptors
Cell Receptor
OBSERVATION
MEDICAL UTILITY
The investigations about prions must be
principal topics in health care and also it
may has a real value, to find enigmatic solutions
to problems that this pathogenic agent can develop as the BSE
MEDICAL UTILITY
The parkinson´s disease is a great topic of world interest that must go stopping due to the
advance in the investigations, it could
have gone away distinguishing information
that has not been reported about the
disease and the manner for helping the patients
who suffer it
MEDICAL UTILITY
When the science knows the mechanism of the
alpha sinucleina protein the world could work in
different topics, for example the
physiopatology of parkinson and the
treatment indicated to diminish the symptoms
of the patient
MEDICAL UTILITY
The investigation is an important field in the medicine because it
allows to quantify and to qualify variables and
also it allows other actions for reaching
the medicine
