Detection and localisation of PrP(Sc) in the liver of sheep infected with scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Prions are largely contained within the nervous and lymphoid tissue of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) infected animals. However, following advances in diagnostic sensitivity, PrP(Sc), a marker for prion disease, can now be located in a ...

Intraspecific Contact Among White‐Tailed Deer: A Literature Review and Chronic Wasting Disease Case Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We identified five themes underlying research on intraspecific contact among white‐tailed deer: physical touch, social groups, spatial overlap, contact rates, and social networks. We found white‐tailed deer infected with chronic wasting disease exhibited similar rates of intraspecific contact as those without infections.

Sustainable bioceramics, biopolymers, and composites for bone applications: From bench to production

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 23, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In response to environmental challenges and primary resource scarcity, sustainable approaches that rely on recycling and reusing waste materials are becoming highly valuable and appealing options in modern society. These strategies have started being applied in biomaterials science, too, leading to the advent of new synergies between ...

Reputation in International Trade: Evidence From the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

Review of International Economics, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 219-242, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A country's reputation may be an important determinant of its ability to export, but the effect is difficult to isolate from underlying product attributes. We consider the trade impact of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and ask whether damage to the Japanese reputation for food safety played a role in its impact. The disaster led to a large and

Optimization of the Nonclinical Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Using Toxicologic Pathology Best Practices

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.
Nonclinical evaluation of biological responses to implanted medical devices and combination products in animals is required to predict possible outcomes and risks in patients. This paper describes globally accepted pathology “best practices” that 1) effectively address ISO standards and current regulatory guidance for medical device development and 2 ...
