Detection and Quantification of CWD Prions in Fixed Paraffin Embedded Tissues by Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractTraditional diagnostic detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) relies on immunodetection of misfolded CWD prion protein (PrPCWD) by western blotting, ELISA, or immunohistochemistry (IHC). These techniques require separate sample collections (frozen and fixed) which may result in discrepancies due to variation in prion tissue distribution and

Standardization of Data Analysis for RT-QuIC-Based Detection of Chronic Wasting Disease

Pathogens, 2023
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a disease affecting cervids and is caused by prions accumulating as pathogenic fibrils in lymphoid tissue and the central nervous system.

RBM10 Deficiency Promotes Anti‐PD‐1 Resistance in LUAD via STING Alternative Splicing‐Driven CCL7 Signaling and Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RBM10 deficiency promotes anti‐PD‐1 resistance in lung adenocarcinoma by altering STING alternative splicing, which enhances CCL7 secretion and CCR2‐dependent M2 macrophage polarization. A positive feedback loop via mitochondrial transfer sustains this immunosuppression.

Estimation of prion infectivity in tissues of cattle infected with atypical BSE by real time-quaking induced conversion assay. [PDF]

J Vet Med Sci, 2019
Atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), first identified in 2004, poses a threat due to the potential to spread the disease to cattle and other animals, including humans. Here, we estimated prion titers in various tissues of cattle infected with atypical BSE using a real-time quaking-induced conversion assay that detects amyloid seeding ...

An Overview of High‐Temperature Superconducting Cables in DC Systems: Unlocking Potential for High‐Voltage DC Networks

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables in DC systems, with a focus on their deployment in high‐voltage DC (HVDC) networks. The assessment of HTS cable properties—such as extremely low electrical resistance, high current‐carrying capacity and a compact geometry—and their comparison with those of ...

Quantitative assessment of prion infectivity in tissues and body fluids by real-time quaking-induced conversion

Journal of General Virology, 2015
Prions are amyloid-forming proteins that cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies through a process involving the templated conversion of the normal cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) to a pathogenic misfolded conformation. Templated conversion has been modelled in several in vitro assays, including serial protein misfolding amplification, amyloid ...

Diffusion MRI and α‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Status in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 295-304, August 2026.
Objective Positive α‐synuclein seed amplification assay (SAA) is a biomarker found in most people with Parkinson's disease (PD). We explored if free‐water (FW) imaging detects microstructural differences in the brains of patients with early PD with SAA+ or SAA– status.

A direct assessment of human prion adhered to steel wire using real-time quaking-induced conversion [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractAccidental transmission of prions during neurosurgery has been reported as a consequence of re-using contaminated surgical instruments. Several decontamination methods have been studied using the 263K-hamster prion; however, no studies have directly evaluated human prions.

Concurrent Hashimoto's Encephalopathy and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report

Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology, Volume 17, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a rare steroid‐responsive autoimmune syndrome. Although HE is associated with anti‐thyroid antibodies, its concurrence with malignant thyroid tumors has rarely been described and its clinical implications remain poorly understood.
