Mad cow disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is caused by prions. Prions are abnormal proteins that can cause normal proteins in the brain to become misshapen, leading to neurodegeneration. The disease can be spread through contaminated meat consumption.
Prions are agents that contain no nucleic acid. They are infectious proteins that can cause misfolding of normal proteins in the brain, leading to neurodegenerative diseases such as mad cow disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Prions are a misfolded protein and cause diseases. It can cause several central nervous system diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru in humans. Spongiform Encephalopathy in cows, mink, and cats plus Scrapie in sheep.
