Epidemiology of progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration in UK children
This study of PIND in UK children was carried out via the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit from 1997 to 2024. It identified six cases of vCJD. 2367 children had other diagnoses explain their deterioration. There were 259 other diseases in the diagnosed group.

Chronic wasting disease as a model for human prion therapy
Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are fatal neurodegenerative disorders that result from abnormally folded prion proteins. These disorders can be sporadic, acquired, or genetic.

Co‐localization of tau and TDP‐43 after extracellular vesicle delivery to cells
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from donor cells transfected with EGFP–2N4R‐tau or mCherry‐wtTDP‐43 were taken up by recipient cells, leading to cytosolic co‐localization of tau and TDP‐43. Molecular modeling revealed that tau and TDP‐43 directly interact through hydrogen bonding, suggesting a mechanistic link underlying their co‐pathology ...

Prion seeding activity in DNA extractions: implications for laboratory biosafety
Infectious prions (PrPSc) are largely resistant to proteolytic digestion, including proteinase K (PK) digestion. While nucleic acid extracts are generally considered non-infectious from a classical microbiology context (i.e.

Cells rely on mitochondria and peroxisomes to trigger antiviral defenses via the protein MAVS. This manuscript demonstrates that the robust production of antiviral effectors resulting from MAVS activation at peroxisomes is faster than at mitochondria due to a swifter oligomerization of this protein at peroxisomal membranes. These results underscore the

Redox environment modulates in vitro aggregation of Ataxin‐3, the protein implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3. Reducing conditions stabilize native monomers and prevent aggregation, whereas oxidative conditions promote the formation of non‐native conformers and disulfide‐linked oligomers within the Josephin domain (JD).
