Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia are characterised by toxic clumps of faulty proteins. Some rare forms of dementia, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) are caused by a type of ...

went on to develop a rare but devastating form of dementia called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), later in life. CJD is driven by abnormally shaped proteins called prions which infect the brain ...

Newly emergent prion diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), and chronic wasting disease are a source of critical concern to physicians ...

Background: Establishing a confident clinical diagnosis before an advanced stage of illness can be difficult in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) but unlike common causes of dementia, prion diseases ...
