Some Speculations about Prions, Amyloid, and Alzheimer's Disease

Prusiner, Stanley B.·1984·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

The causes of most degenerative diseases are unknown; however, the causes of three degenerative disorders of the central nervous system have been defined by their transmissibility to animals. These diseases are kuru, Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, and the Gerstmann-Straüssler syndrome.1 , 2 The slow infectious agents that cause these diseases appear to be different from viruses but similar to the agent that causes scrapie, a neurologic disorder of sheep and goats.1 , 3 The term "prion" has been introduced to denote this slow infectious agent, with its unusual properties.3 Studies of the molecular structure of scrapie prions in highly purified preparations indicate that they contain one . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
