In 2004, the International Symposium of Prion Diseases for Food and Drug Safety was held October 31–November 2 in Sendai, Japan, where, 20 years earlier, arguments were first heard on whether the etiologic agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy was prions or scrapie-associated fibrils. This volume is a collection of current work on prion research that was presented at the 2004 symposium. Topics included range from basic research to clinical aspects of prion diseases, making the book a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians, and encouraging further developments by the next generation of researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2005-08-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9784431255390\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/4-431-29402-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: Nonecm xNonecm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 272.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45605199609996,"sku":"9784431255390","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9784431255390.jpg?v=1767707886","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9784431255390","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
