加利福尼亚大学医学院的 stanley pruisner 提出“当脑结构崩溃和变性时,将会发生什么?”的问题。例如,在全世界约有百万分之一的人患 Jakob-Creutzfeldt 病,这是一种进行性痴呆,一年内致死的疾病。在新几内亚山地的土著人中常发生一种叫Kuru 的类似疾病。Scrapie 病(羊搔痒症)也是以弥漫性脑结构破坏为特征的。研究者们认为弄清这些疾病可能揭示变性疾病病理学方面的新机理。在美国临床研究联合会年
Stanley Pruisner of the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine proposed the question “what happens when brain structures collapse and degenerate?” For example, about one in a million people worldwide suffer from Jakob-Creutzfeldt’s disease, a progressive dementia that causes death within one year. A similar disease called Kuru often occurs among Aboriginal people in the mountains of New Guinea. Scrapie’s disease (scrapie) is also characterized by diffuse brain damage. The researchers believe that clarifying these diseases may reveal new mechanisms in the pathology of degenerative diseases. In the United States Clinical Research Federation years
