Abstract

Prion theory point to a mechanism of toxicity related to the conversion of Coated (PrPc) nanoparticles (NPs) to uncoated (PrPsc) NPs under electromagnetic field could help scientific community to better understand prion diseases. However, research using nanosciences associated to electromagnetic field exposure of coated (PrPc) NPs and its conversion to uncoated NPs (PrPsc) triggering membrane receptors of the nervous system is poorly understood. Protein (PrPc) activated or influenced by uncoated NPs (PrPsc) under electromagnetic field could enhance protein 3D conversion; leading to prion diseases. The present prion theory gives the scientific community a novel approach. Interestingly, magnetic field-enhanced nano-protein to do a pathological folding, can generate large numbers of uncoated protein (PrPsc) and has scientific relevant applications for adoptive neurology.
