Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...

Small critical RNAs in the scrapie agent
, 2009 Unconventional infectious agents cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases including scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in animals and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. The protein only hypothesis claims that the TSE

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.

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

Veterinary ResearchPrion diseases are fatal and contagious brain disorders caused by a pathogenic prion protein (PrPSc) derived from the benign prion protein (PrPC). To date, there are no therapeutic substances to completely block prion diseases. Thus, the development of a

A Practical Framework for GT‐Seq Panel Optimization
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT Genotyping‐in‐thousands by sequencing (GT‐seq) panels are powerful tools in ecological, evolutionary and conservation genomics, yet the optimization process critical for robust and reproducible genotyping remains poorly formalized. Here, we present an iterative workflow for GT‐seq panel optimization that emphasizes systematic refinement ...

Convergent generation of atypical prions in knockin mouse models of genetic prion disease
The Journal of Clinical InvestigationMost cases of human prion disease arise due to spontaneous misfolding of WT or mutant prion protein, yet recapitulating this event in animal models has proven challenging. It remains unclear whether spontaneous prion generation can occur within the mouse

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 ...
