American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos is a common species throughout North America. Crows play a role in the ecology of multiple diseases and a single laboratory experiment has shown the potential for crows to pass infectious prions, such as those associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD), in their feces after being force‐fed with infected material ...

We examined changes in perceived risks associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD) and perceived trust in wildlife agencies over time across 10 studies in eight states. Results indicated that perceived risks to both deer and humans declined the longer the disease had been in a state. Results also indicated that agency trust evaluations were positive,

This paper estimates the rate of chronic wasting disease spread in multiple regions and compares these rates with model predictions based on deer movement data. Abstract Rare long‐distance movements can increase the spatial spread of invasive species and shifts in species ranges. For wildlife disease spread, however, seasonal migrations may only matter

Alzheimer's and Prion diseases are two neurodegenerative conditions sharing different pathophysiological characteristics. Disease symptoms are associated with the abnormal accumulation of protein aggregates, which are generated by the misfolding and oligomerization of specific proteins.

Beta amyloid diffuse plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques, are increased in densities at the intermediate stage of Alzheimer's neuropathological change. These pathological changes releasing Pathogen‐Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) and Damage‐Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs).

α‐Synuclein strain homogeneity in multiple system atrophy subtypes
Two different subtypes of multiple system atrophy are recognized: MSA‐C and MSA‐P. In this manuscript, Lau et al. investigate whether MSA‐C and MSA‐P are caused by different strains of α‐synuclein aggregates. By performing conformational fingerprinting experiments as well as in vitro and in vivo seeding assays, their findings suggest that both MSA‐C ...

Abstract Behavioral interventions, for example, through the use of incentives and information, are widely used by policymakers to induce welfare‐improving behavior. When these interventions are used in specific contexts such as environmental conservation, individual knowledge, experience, and attitudes can lead to motivational crowding and may limit ...

Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.

Aspects of prion protein dynamics in cell culture models. [PDF]
The cell biology of Prion formation and transfer is not well understood. In order to further elucidate the dynamics of PrPc and PrPsc in a cellular context, fusions between Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and PrP were constructed and infected/uninfected ...

Bone Grafts: Everything You Need to Know
This review classifies bone grafts (autograft, allograft, xenograft, synthetic) by source and osteogenic/inductive/conductive potential, linking material properties and mechanisms to clinical indications in periodontal and dental regeneration. Key challenges—limited osteoinduction, poor vascularisation, unbalanced resorption, handling difficulties, and
