Review on prion diseases in animals with emphasis to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
Veterinary World, 2012 Prion diseases are known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE). These are degenerative brain disorders characterized by tiny microscopic holes that give the brain 'spongy' appearance.

Accumulation of L-type Bovine Prions in Peripheral Nerve Tissues
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 We recently reported the intraspecies transmission of L-type atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). To clarify the peripheral pathogenesis of L-type BSE, we studied prion distribution in nerve and lymphoid tissues obtained from experimentally ...

3D‐printing of Methacryloylated Recombinant Collagen for Tissue Engineering
ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 17, 5 May 2026.Recombinant collagen‐like proteins offer promise as alternatives to mammalian collagens. There is less risk of disease transfer, and changes in structure can be readily introduced. Here, a recombinant collagen‐like protein was methacryloylated for extrusion printing and rapid photo‐crosslinking.

The role of host PrP in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies
, 2007 PrP has a central role in the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs), and mutations and polymorphisms in host PrP can profoundly alter the host's susceptibility to a TSE agent.

Oral Transmission of L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Agent among Cattle
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 To determine oral transmissibility of the L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prion, we orally inoculated 16 calves with brain homogenates of the agent. Only 1 animal, given a high dose, showed signs and died at 88 months. These results suggest

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.Insects are emerging as sustainable alternatives for ruminants. This systematic review evaluates in vitro and in vivo evidence on insect‐based feeds in ruminant nutrition, discussing their outcomes and elucidating underlying mechanisms. Despite promising effects on rumen fermentation, growth, and product quality, inconsistencies related to insect ...

Differentiation of Prions from L-type BSE versus Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 We compared transmission characteristics for prions from L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy and MM2-cortical sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the Syrian golden hamster and an ovine prion protein–transgenic mouse line and isolated distinct prion

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Using data from a long‐term survey of senior civil servants (1970–2021), this study investigates the declining share of jurists in federal ministerial departments in Germany. The mechanisms driving this trend and its subsequent effects are discussed from an organizational perspective, highlighting the influence of environmental pressure and ...

Nature Communications, 2017 It is hypothesised that exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy through contaminated food could have resulted in a large proportion of latent variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease cases in humans. Here the authors demonstrate that inoculation with blood

Transmission of Atypical Bovine Prions to Mice Transgenic for Human Prion Protein
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 To assess risk for cattle-to-human transmission of prions that cause uncommon forms of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), we inoculated mice expressing human PrP Met129 with field isolates.
