The Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissues in the Small Intestine, Not the Large Intestine, Play a Major Role in Oral Prion Disease Pathogenesis.

Donaldson DS1, Else KJ2, Mabbott NA3.
Journal of virology.J Virol.2015 Sep 15;89(18):9532-47. doi: 10.1128/JVI.01544-15. Epub 2015 Jul 8.
Prion diseases are infectious neurodegenerative disorders characterized by accumulations of abnormally folded cellular prion protein in affected tissues. Many natural prion diseases are acquired orally, and following exposure, the early replication of some prion isolates upon follicular dendritic ce

Longitudinal Detection of Prion Shedding in Saliva and Urine by Chronic Wasting Disease-Infected Deer by Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion.

Henderson DM1, Denkers ND1, Hoover CE1, Garbino N1, Mathiason CK1, Hoover EA2.
Journal of virology.J Virol.2015 Sep 15;89(18):9338-47. doi: 10.1128/JVI.01118-15. Epub 2015 Jul 1.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an emergent, rapidly spreading prion disease of cervids. Shedding of infectious prions in saliva and urine is thought to be an important factor in CWD transmission. To help to elucidate this issue, we applied an in vitro amplification assay to determine the onset, du

Viral capsid assembly as a model for protein aggregation diseases: Active processes catalyzed by cellular assembly machines comprising novel drug targets.

Marreiros R1, Müller-Schiffmann A1, Bader V1, Selvarajah S2, Dey D2, Lingappa VR2, Korth C3.
Virus research.Virus Res.2015 Sep 2;207:155-64. doi: 10.1016/j.virusres.2014.10.003. Epub 2014 Oct 25.
Viruses can be conceptualized as self-replicating multiprotein assemblies, containing coding nucleic acids. Viruses have evolved to exploit host cellular components including enzymes to ensure their replicative life cycle. New findings indicate that also viral capsid proteins recruit host factors to
