Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD): A Neurodegenerative Conundrum

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by prions, infectious proteins that affect the brain. CJD causes progressive dementia, loss of motor coordination, and eventually death. The variant form of CJD (vCJD), linked to the consumption of beef contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), known as "mad cow disease", raised great concern in the 1990s. What are Prions? Prions are infectious proteins that cause neurodegenerative diseases by causing normal brain proteins to fold abnormally. This abnormal folding leads to the formation of protein aggregates that damage brain cells, causing degeneration of brain tissue. Forms of CJD CJD can manifest itself in different ways: Sporadic CJD (aJCJD): The most common form, accounting for about 85% of cases. AJCJD occurs when the normal prion protein spontaneously folds abnormally, with no known cause. Familial CJD (fCJD): An inherited form of the disease, accounting for about 10-15...
