Abstract
The elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of the pathological process is an essential condition for the effective therapy and prevention of the disease. During the last decades the medical and social problems caused by so-called misfolding diseases were becoming acute increasingly. Among such diseases a special place belongs to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Creutzfeldtd — Jakob’s diseases, which are related to the amyloidosis of the central nervous system. All of them are characterized by progressive and irreversible degeneration of brain tissue, which is associated with the deposition of β-structured protein aggregates and the death of nerve cells. Scientifi c achievements of the recent years reveal the general features of the mechanisms of formation and course of these diseases, substantiate the provision on the formation of the embryo of protein aggregation as a key process that leads the course of the disease to a qualitatively new, irreversibly progressive level.
