My first article for Beyond The Fold: an open-science group of prion ECR's , focusing on recent research, debates on controversial topics, and opinion pieces on all things prion! Here I talk about a kind of α-syn that was more prion-like than expected... shorturl.at/LUuYf

The public loses faith in vaccines not because of ACIP, but because of current HHS leadership who distort facts for personal and political agendas.
The latest Osterholm Update podcast episode is here! @mtosterholm & @cvdall discuss the remaking of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and what lies ahead for US vaccine policy and provide updates on measles, H5N1, COVID-19, and mpox.

In @mSphereJ, researchers describe a previously unreported route of prion neuroinvasion from the nasal cavity to the nervous system, which may explain the increased efficiency of infection following prion inhalation. asm.social/2dD

Talking #prion strains over a glass of wine with Profs @LabBartz and Glenn Telling in Faro, after #prion2023. Hope to see you next year in China for more insightful discussions!

Richard Goering, PhD, professor of medical microbiology and immunology in the School of Medicine, was selected as co-principal investigator for a Dubai-based international study that will research ways to reduce resistance to antibiotics among disease-causing organisms.

#MAJOR NEWS #CWD #NORWAY. First SUSPECTED case of CWD in a semi-domestic reindeer. Børgefjell is in mid Norway. Unlikely to be linked to cases in wild reindeer much further south (?) Adult male. CONFIRMATION will follow over the weekend.

Sonia teamed with Jill Goldman @TaubInstitute & wrote a new guidance for genetic counseling in prion disease in @GIMJournal: gimjournal.org/article/S1098…
Here, Sonia explains how her personal experience going through genetic counseling as a patient informs it: prionalliance.org/2022/07/28…

The shape of things to come: structural insights into how prion proteins encipher heritable information. Excellent editorial by Glen Telling that neatly places recent Cryo-EM prion structure discoveries in the grand scheme of protein-based inheritance nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

🦌the US House passed Chronic Wasting Disease Research & Management Act will help address CWD by authorizing $70 million annually from FY 2022 to FY 2028 to be split evenly between CWD research & management efforts. Of this, $35 million is dedicated annually for CWD research… – at Minnesota, USA

First suspected case of CWD in wild deer along MN border with N.D. prompts @mndnr to implement voluntary CWD sampling for all deer harvested in that area during '21 firearms season. #CWD #deer #hunting outdoornews.com/2021/11/03/c…

The Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act would provide important funding for CWD research, as well as give state and tribal game agencies the necessary funding and strategies to help manage the disease.

What awful news a tragedy for the researcher and their family but also colleagues in the lab and field. In time we need to understand the type, any accident, review lab safety and consider prophylaxis. Not just prions, labs synthesising proteopathic seeds. sciencemag.org/news/2021/07/…

Jifeng Bian, Glenn C. Telling and colleagues @ResearchCSU show that Norwegian reindeer and moose chronic wasting disease are caused by novel prion strains with properties distinct from those of North American CWD.

.@Leo_M_Cortez, @PrionGirl and colleagues @UAlberta provide new insights into the molecular basis of #prion strain variation and a proof of concept that can be applied to other protein misfolding neurodegenerative disorders.
