People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2078-2090, July 2026.Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

A Drosophila model of prion disease and its metabolic changes in the brain
Animal Models and Experimental MedicineBackground Prion diseases (PrDs) are fatal transmissible neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolded prion protein, which is highly expressed in the brain.

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 ...

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.

The Scientific World Journal, 2001 Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a group of invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases. The infectious agent is termed prion and is thought to be composed of a modified protein (PrPSc or PrPRES), a protease-resistant conformer of the normal
