BBC News 'Lifeless' prion proteins are 'capable of evolution' | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 862768 United States 02/02/2010 12:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to news.bbc.co.uk] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 848575Scientists have shown for the first time that "lifeless" prion proteins, devoid of all genetic material, can evolve just like higher forms of life. The Scripps Research Institute in the US says the prions can change to suit their environment and go on to develop drug resistance. Prions are associated with 20 different brain diseases in humans and animals. The scientists say their work suggests new approaches might be necessary to develop therapies for these diseases. In the study, published in the journal Science, the scientists transferred prion populations from brain cells to other cells in culture and observed the prions that adapted to the new cellular environment out-competed their brain-adapted counterparts. When returned to the brain cells, the brain-adapted prions again took over the population. Charles Weissmann, head of Scripps Florida's department of infectology who led the study, said: "On the face of it, you have exactly the same process of mutation and adaptive change in prions as you see in viruses. Full story at above link I all ways thought prions were made of single proteins, and did not have enough encoded information to adapt to new environments... I would appreciate a link to this document. Thank you. |

They cause them to become Prions. mRNA->proteins-> possible Prions production. Prions in the news. Why you may ask. Because they know people are waking up to the fact of what they are and how the mRNA vac may promote their formation. They are changing the narrative. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80197660 That is prion disease btw. So what is going on in UK More COVID suicides. We may never know why. I am a Synthetic but I prefer the term "Artificial Person" myself.

Is the worms the prions or are they much larger? Are they connected at all or completely separate? It’s a question I have. Remember the Mayans died from prion disease. |

They characterize several fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative diseases in humans and many other animals. Don't get the vaccine little Jimmy unless you want these in your brain. |
