PLoS Pathog . 2020 Sep; 16(9):e1008875. PMID: 32898162
Prions are unorthodox pathogens that cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and other mammals. Prion propagation occurs through the self-templating of the pathogenic conformer PrPSc, onto the cell-expressed conformer, PrPC....

Boyle A, Plinston C, Laing F, MacKenzie G, Will R, Manson J, et al.
Emerg Infect Dis . 2020 May; 26(6):1300-1303. PMID: 32441626
We investigated a clinical case of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in a person heterozygous for methionine/valine at codon 129 of the prion protein gene and identified the same strain properties in...

Manson J, Diack A
Food Saf (Tokyo) . 2020 Apr; 4(4):135-141. PMID: 32231918
A Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) agent from one species generally transmits poorly to a new species, a phenomenon known as the species barrier. However once in the new species it...

Diack A, Boyle A, Plinston C, Hunt E, Bishop M, Will R, et al.
Brain . 2019 Apr; 142(5):1416-1428. PMID: 30938429
In 2004, a subclinical case of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in a PRNP 129 methionine/valine heterozygous individual infected via blood transfusion was reported, and we established that the spleen from this...

Alibhai J, Diack A, Manson J
FASEB J . 2018 Oct; 32(11):5766-5777. PMID: 30376380
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, incurable neurodegenerative disease targeting specific neuronal populations within the brain while neighboring neurons appear unaffected. The focus for defining mechanisms has therefore been on the...

Phadwal K, Kurian D, Salamat M, Macrae V, Diack A, Manson J
Sci Rep . 2018 Jul; 8(1):10004. PMID: 29968775
Autolysosomal dysfunction and unstable microtubules are hallmarks of chronic neurodegenerative diseases associated with misfolded proteins. Investigation of impaired protein quality control and clearance systems could therefore provide an important avenue...

Diack A, Bartz J
Handb Clin Neurol . 2018 Jun; 153:69-84. PMID: 29887156
Prion strains occur in natural prion diseases, including prion diseases of humans. Prion strains can correspond with differences in the clinical signs and symptoms of disease and the distribution of...
