A recent surge of research, first instigated by pathologic similarities between prion diseases and Alzheimer’s disease, increasingly implicates the conversion of disease-specific proteins into an aggregate-prone β-sheet-rich state as the prime mover of the neurodegenerative process. This prion-like corruptive protein templating or seeding now characterizes such clinically and etiologically diverse neurological disorders as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Understanding the misfolding, aggregation, trafficking and pathogenicity of the affected proteins could therefore reveal universal pathomechanistic principles for someofthemostdevastatingandintractablehumanbraindisorders. The aim of the meeting entitled like this volume “proteopathic seeds and neurodegenerative diseases” held in February 2012 in Paris is to gather state-of- the-art knowledge in this rapidly moving research field. This volume is also intended to further stimulate the translation of this emerging common pathomechanismintothetreatmentandpreventionofneurodegenerativediseases. Becausedisease-specificproteinaggregatescanbedetectedmanyyearstodecades before clinical symptoms manifest, proteopathic seeds may become early and disease-specific biomarkers. The volume also reveals that the prion-like transfor- mationofproteinstructurecaninsomecircumstancesbebeneficialandisexploited bythehealthyorganismtostoreandtransmitinformationatthemolecularlevel.
