, 2005 In recent studies, the amyloid form of recombinant prion protein (PrP) encompassing residues 89-230 (rPrP 89-230) produced in vitro induced transmissible prion disease in mice.

, 2019 Recent advances in understanding of the molecular biology of prion diseases and improved clinical diagnostic techniques might allow researchers to think about therapeutic trials in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients. Some attempts have been made in the past and various compounds have been tested in single case reports and patient series ...

Fusion protein condensate formation via coiled‐coil domains
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract While recent research shows that biomolecular condensates play important roles in normal cellular processes and diseases, the driving forces in condensate formation are not well understood, especially regarding the role of structured self‐associative protein domains.

Synthesis and structural characterization of a mimetic membrane-anchored prion protein
, 2006 During pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) an abnormal form (PrPSc) of the host encoded prion protein (PrPC) accumulates in insoluble fibrils and plaques. The two forms of PrP appear to have identical covalent structures, but

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Polyproline II (PPII) helices are extended left‐handed secondary structures increasingly recognized for their roles in molecular recognition, signaling and within intrinsically disordered regions of proteins. Despite their functional importance, predicting regions with propensity to form PPII helices from sequence alone remains challenging due

From Meat to Plant‐Based Products? The Enduring Impact of BSE on Beef Consumption
Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT This study reassesses the impact of the historical BSE outbreak on EU diets, showing that consumption patterns shifted persistently even after policy actions eliminated the food safety risk. Utilizing advanced difference‐in‐differences techniques on 1980–2020 data, we demonstrate that while beef consumption exhibited a transient U‐shaped ...

Rapid generation of prion disease models using AAV‐delivered PrP variants in knockout mice
Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.We developed a rapid AAV‐based system to generate prion disease models in weeks rather than months. Following systemic AAV9P31 delivery of modified PrP to knockout mice, we achieved brain‐wide expression and successful propagation of both classical (RML) and atypical (GSS‐A117V) prion strains.

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...

The diagnosis of prion diseases
Parasitology, 1999 Prion diseases of humans and other animals have clinical, economic and political significance. Pre-mortem diagnosis is therefore of great importance. Clinical diagnostic criteria and the current status of the available diagnostic tests are reviewed and possible future developments discussed.
