    Extractions: by Peter Ellis Many people today are wary of eating beef because they fear that they may catch CJD, the human form of "mad-cow disease". News from France and Germany admitting that BSE (the scientific name of the disease) is present in cattle in those countries means that the problem will remain in public view. It is nearly thirty years since Stanley Prusiner became interested in CJD and related illnesses and started the work for which he received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1997. To San Francisco One of the first patients Stanley met was suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). This distressing illness slowly destroys the memory of the sufferer stopping them from carrying out even simple tasks. The fatal disease was thought to be caused by a slow acting virus. Stanley's interest grew when he found that there were other similar diseases in humans and animal. The Fore people of New Guinea suffered from "kuru", the laughing death, because they ceremonially ate the brains of their elders. Scrapie caused sheep and goats to lose coordination and develop an itch, which they scraped at so losing their wool or hair. All these diseases resulted in parts of the brain becoming spongy the nerve cells replaced by holes.

    Extractions: Stanley B. Prusiner Stanley B. Prusiner, M.D., is a Professor of Neurology and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Francisco. He received his undergraduate and medical training at the University of Pennsylvania and his postgraduate clinical training at UCSF. His research training began at the NIH as a member of the US Public Health Service in 1969. He returned to UCSF in 1972 to complete his clinical training in Neurology before joining the faculty in 1974. Editor of eight books and author of over 200 articles, Prusiner's contributions to scientific research have been internationally recognized. Prusiner is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as the Royal Society, London. Dr. Prusiner was awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology. Dr. Prusiner discovered an entirely new class of pathogens that replicate without nucleic acid. Through this work, he created a new field of research that has resulted in significant progress in understanding degenerative diseases of the central nervous system (ONS). His revolutionary studies have made conceptual advances in elucidating mechanisms of age-dependent ONS diseases. For several decades, the prevailing concept was that the transmissible CNS disease scrapie was caused by a slow-acting virus. Prusiner proposed what many scientists considered to be the heretical idea that the scrapie agent, which he called "prion," is composed only of protein and is devoid of nucleic acid. His incisive experiments demonstrated how an infectious pathogen lacking nucleic acid can multiply and cause CNS degeneration.

    Extractions: Neuroscience researcher Stanley B. Prusiner won the 1997 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine "for his discovery of prions—a new biological principle of infection." His pioneering work had its genesis in 1972 when he encountered a patient who was dying of a so-called "slow virus" brain infection called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Prusiner eventually identified an entirely new genre of disease-causing agents—which he named "prions"—that exist normally as cellular proteins but possess an innate capacity to convert their structures into highly stabile conformations resulting in several deadly brain diseases of the dementia type in humans and animals, including CJD, scrapie (a sheep disease), Gertsmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE—better known as "mad cow disease").

    Extractions: Weekly Staff Writer The 37th annual Nobel Conference is not only recognizing past discoveries, but focusing on the future as well. This is made evident by its theme, "The Second Nobel Century: What is Still to Be Discovered?" This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the Nobel Prizes. "In commemorating this centennial, we hold high those persons who have been selected for their monumental contributions to society, and Alfred Nobel, whose foresight in preparing his last will and testament has afforded rewards for historic discovery," said Michael Sohlman, executive director of the Nobel Foundation. There are eight presenters, including Sir Harold W. Kroto. His presentation will be on "Science, a Round Peg in a Square World." He is from the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, and is the 1996 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry for his collaborative work and discovery of fullerenes new forms of the element carbon.

Prusiner, M.D., recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, will deliver a lecture at 4 p.m. Thursday, April 6 at the University of Iowa Levitt Center for University Advancement. Prusiner's lecture, "Prions and the Brain," is a regional event sponsored by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The lecture is free and open to UI faculty, students, staff and the public. Registration is recommended. To register, please call (319) 335-8064 or register via e-mail at iomregia@nas.edu. Prusiner is director of the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases and professor of neurology and biochemistry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). An editor of eight books and author of more than 250 research articles, Prusiner's contributions to scientific research have been internationally recognized. His Nobel Prize-winning research centered on his discovery of prions, protein particles that are considered to be the cause of various infectious diseases of the central nervous system, such as scrapie, "mad cow disease" and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Prusiner proposed what many scientists considered to be the heretical idea that prions are composed only of protein and are devoid of nucleic acid. Previously, scientists believed that transmissible central nervous system diseases were caused by slow-acting viruses. Prusiner's studies demonstrated how an infectious pathogen lacking nucleic acid could multiply and cause central nervous system degeneration. His work significantly changed the way scientists and physicians think about diseases of the central nervous system and may have profound implications for future biomedical research.

    Extractions: The infectious prion particle forms within the body o C). With time, non-symptomatic incubation periods vary from months to years, the disease-causing PrPSc can accumulate to levels that result in brain tissue damage. In analogy to a well known literary work, the normal PrPc can be compared to the friendly Dr. Jekyll and the disease causing PrPSc to the dangerous Mr. Hyde, the same entity but in two different manifestations. Structural variant disease-causing prions accumulate in different regions of the brain Specific mutations within the prion gene give rise to structurally variant disease-causing prion proteins. These structural prion variants accumulate in different regions of the brain. Dependent upon the region of the brain that becomes infected, different symptoms, typical for the particular type of disease are evident. When the cerebellum is infected the ability to coordinate body movements declines. Memory and mental acuity are affected if the cerebral cortex is infected. Thalamus specific prions disturb sleep leading to insomnia, and prions infecting the brain stem primarily affect body movement.

    Extractions: VOL. 23, NO. 7 OCTOBER 24, 1997 Stanley Prusiner olumbia will award the 1997 Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize to Stanley B. Prusiner, professor of neurology and biochemistry at U.C.-San Francisco this Thursday (Oct. 23). Prusiner, winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine, is to be honored for his groundbreaking work on prions, a protein capable of transmitting degenerative neurological diseases. The Horwitz Prize, established in 1967, is given annually for outstanding research in biology or biochemistry. Research previously recognized by other awards, such as the Nobel Prize, is not eligible. The Horwitz Prize committee selected Prusiner for the award in May. They have been linked to certain neurodegenerative disorders, such as bovine spongioform encephalitis (better known as "mad cow disease") and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is similar to mad cow disease but occurs in humans. In these diseases, holes develop in the brain, resulting in dementia and, eventually, death. In England, more than 130,000 cows have been affected by mad cow disease since the 1980s. Scientists believe the cows were infected by a food supplement made of the meat and bone meal from sheep that had scrapi. Researchers are now investigating whether people who ate the contaminated beef subsequently developed mad cow disease.
