Systems Biology Provides First Global Analysis of Prion Disease in a Mouse Model

Approach Could Point to Mad Cow Diagnostic Blood Markers, New Treatment Targets in Humans and Application of Systems Approaches to Other Diseases

Researchers at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle and the McLaughlin Research Institute http://www.montana.edu/wwwmri/ in Great Falls, Montana, published today in Molecular Systems Biology a ground-breaking study which modeled the progression of degenerative brain diseases, one of which is "mad cow disease," that are caused by misfolded proteins called “prions”. The paper can be accessed at http://www.nature.com/msb/index.html.
