Dear #medical #scientist #biology #nerds , and, of course, the casually curious:
The bot and I had a chat about #prions . They're pesky critters
BotConv: Punk-ass Prions

Oh, hand. I have a weird theory about #prions too. 😁
What if, instead of the presence of prions, prion diseases are primarily caused by the absence or failure of some thing that ought to be capable of dealing with prions? 😁
Caveats: deal with, at low levels, too many prions will still overwhelm this what ever it is.
Testable claims: whatever it is will be found in predators and scavengers far more strongly than in non-carnivorous species.

Biological warfare using prion bombs would cause massive chaos.

Were mass extinctions caused by the accumulation of prions in the environment?

La santé au travail toujours maltraitée à #INRAE : après le licenciement de la médecin coordinatrice et le contentieux sur le conseil médical national l'an dernier, ce début 2025 c'est la nouvelle procédure d'accident voulue par la DG qui est hors les clous...
Et n'oublions pas, depuis 2020 la gestion chaotique du douloureux dossier des #prions , où des préventions attendues ne se sont toujours pas concrétisées.

Just mentioned BSE and this turns up.
U. Minnesota article states:
"Researchers have identified chronic wasting disease (CWD) prions in raw, cooked, and cured meat from an infected elk in Texas"

La DG #INRAE a mis en ligne au creux de l'été un encart intitulé '"informations sur les maladies à prions" :
https://www.inrae.fr/nous-connaitre/institut-responsable/informations-maladies-prions.
Doit-on comprendre que ce message #prions, non daté, glissé en bas de page de la rubrique "employeur responsable" (sic !) répond au rapport d'expertise début 2022, suite au décès de 2 collègues, puis de l'avis du Comité d'Ethique, sur l'information du personnel concerné par cette activité de recherche ?
Chacun-e peut mesurer le décalage.
A suivre ! -
Looks like a much needed action.
Though the avoidance of the word "kill" and the words and phrases used to replace it - "remove", "die" etc - gets creepy after a while, like they're playing some game.
#Prions are amazing things.
Is it Norway where they're not sure if they survive in the groundwater for a looooong time? -
"This nightmare illness doesn’t yet exist. But for inspiration, Napper needs to look only at the very real contagion in his own lab: chronic wasting disease (CWD), a highly lethal, highly contagious #NeurodegenerativeDisease that is devastating North America’s deer, elk, and other cervids."

Chronic wasting disease, ( #CWD ) a neurological illness caused by misshapen proteins in the central nervous system ( #prions ), has gained international attention due to its potential for dramatic population-level impacts and our inability to eradicate CWD once it is established.
CWD is always fatal and has been linked to substantial population declines at high prevalence in white-tailed deer, mule deer, and likely elk.
Despite over 20 years of intensive research, no effective management prescriptions have been discovered that can control the spread or effectively lower prevalence once CWD is established.
In that time, the known affected area increased dramatically both nationally (30 states in the United States) and internationally (three Canadian provinces, and three countries in Europe [Norway, Sweden, and Finland]) in free-ranging cervids, with newly affected areas discovered annually.
Although preventing spread of CWD is a national management priority, there is limited understanding of the transmission mechanisms and which mechanisms impact disease spread and containment options the most.
As no disease has ever been effectively managed without fully understanding transmission, this project aims to provide clarity on the relevance and influence of different spread mechanisms.
Results will provide a scientific basis for refining future data collection, testing potential management strategies, and assessing the effects of climate change on disease spread

#Prions are, as some may know, malformed proteins that can cause 'mad cow disease', #alzheimer and of course the dreaded #amyloid diseases. The excellent doctor Hazenberg in The Netherlands did great research on the latter, by the way. His retirement was deserved but regretted!
Now, prions wreak havoc in American #deer. And although this was known it's only now gaining momentum. It 'rots their brain' and of course; there is nothing to do about it.https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2023/12/deer-chronic-wasting-disease-decline/676962/

@Nonya_Bidniss
I’m not too worried about it, if you trust your processor or do it yourself. The CDC opinion is still full of “ifs” after all these years. I’d be more worried about swimming in streams in warm weather. #WildVenison #prions -
"CWD is extremely hard to eradicate once an environment is infected. It can persist for years in dirt or on surfaces, and scientists report it is resistant to disinfectants, formaldehyde, radiation and incineration at 600C (1,100F)."
I'm not a wild game eater but if I were, I wouldn't eat wild venison & elk. It's been years since studies have shown the persistence of infectious prions in the environment left by grazing, sick animals. #CWD #prions https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/zombie-deer-disease-humans-cases-b2469275.html
