HeMiTo-dynamics: a characterisation of mammalian prion toxicity using non-dimensionalisation, linear stability and perturbation analyses.

Prion-like proteins play crucial parts in biological processes in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. For instance, many neurodegenerative diseases are believed to be caused by the production of prion-like proteins in neural tissue. As such, understanding the dynamics of prion-like protein production is a vital step toward treating neurodegenerative disease.
