Cholesterol esterification reduces the neurotoxicity of prions
Journal Article
Bate, C., Tayebi, M., & Williams, A. Cholesterol esterification reduces the neurotoxicity of prions. Neuropharmacology, 54(8), 1247-1253. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropharm.2008.04.002

The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies develop following the conversion of a host-encoded protein (PrPC) into abnormally folded, disease-related isoforms (PrPSc). Here we report that three acylcoenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhi... Read More about Cholesterol esterification reduces the neurotoxicity of prions.

Docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids increase neuronal death in response to HuPrP82-146 and A beta 1-42
Journal Article
Bate, C., Marshall, V., Colombo, L., Diomede, L., Salmona, M., & Williams, A. Docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids increase neuronal death in response to HuPrP82-146 and A beta 1-42. Neuropharmacology, 54(6), 934-943. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropharm.2008.02.003

Dietary supplements containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are frequently taken for their perceived health benefits including a possible reduction in cognitive decline in the elderly. Here we report that pre-treatment with docosahexaenoic acid... Read More about Docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids increase neuronal death in response to HuPrP82-146 and A beta 1-42.
