Ticks could be a new vector for chronic wasting disease

A new study from researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison finds that ticks can harbor transmissible amounts of the protein particle that causes Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), implicating the parasites as possible agents in the disease's spread between deer in Wisconsin. Her findings were published in the journal Nature.

Scientists uncover key molecular culprit in ALS: PEG10 gene implicated in pathogenesis

UBQLN2 dysfunction in ALS leads to elevated PEG10 levels, suggesting a role for retrotransposon activity in the disease. PEG10's nuclear localization alters gene expression involved in axon remodeling, implicating it as a contributing mechanism in ALS.

Microparticle-delivered therapy likely to be the first step toward stopping autoimmune diseases

According to the federal government's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, nearly 3 million people worldwide -; with almost a third in the United States -; are living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disabling neurological disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks nerves feeding information to the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Although rarely fatal, MS can lead to long-term disabilities, and impair movement, muscle control, vision and cognition.
