RESUMEN
Resumen Desde el scrapie de la oveja a la encefalopatía espongiforme bovina y desde el kuru a la enfermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob, tenaces investigadores buscaron los misteriosos agentes de estos desórdenes neurológicos, hasta que Stanley Prusiner descubriera y describiera las priones en los ochenta, obteniendo el Premio Nobel en 1997. Pero, este no fue el final de esta fantástica historia de la increible proteina designada prion por Prusiner, porque ahora, la investigación en neurociencia ha encontrado proteínas prion-like jugando un importante papel en la génesis de la memoria a largo plazo.
ABSTRACT
Abstract From the scrapie of the sheep to the bovine spongiform encephalitis, and from the kuru to the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, tenacious investigators searched for the mysterious agent of these neurological disorders, till Stanley Prusiner discovered and described the prion in the eighties, wining the Nobel Prize in 1997. But this was not the end of the fantastic history of the incredible protein designed prion by Prusiner, because now the investigation on neuroscience has founded prion-like proteins playing an important role in the genesis of the long-term memory.
