Herrmann U, Schutz A, Shirani H, Huang D, Saban D, Nuvolone M, et al.
Sci Transl Med . 2015 Aug; 7(299):299ra123. PMID: 26246168
Prions cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies for which no treatment exists. Prions consist of PrP(Sc), a misfolded and aggregated form of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)). We explore the antiprion properties...

Falsig J, Sonati T, Herrmann U, Saban D, Li B, Arroyo K, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2012 Nov; 8(11):e1002985. PMID: 23133383
Prions cause neurodegeneration in vivo, yet prion-infected cultured cells do not show cytotoxicity. This has hampered mechanistic studies of prion-induced neurodegeneration. Here we report that prion-infected cultured organotypic cerebellar slices...

Margalith I, Suter C, Ballmer B, Schwarz P, Tiberi C, Sonati T, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2012 Apr; 287(23):18872-87. PMID: 22493452
Luminescent conjugated polymers (LCPs) interact with ordered protein aggregates and sensitively detect amyloids of many different proteins, suggesting that they may possess antiprion properties. Here, we show that a variety...

Kranich J, Krautler N, Falsig J, Ballmer B, Li S, Hutter G, et al.
J Exp Med . 2010 Sep; 207(10):2271-81. PMID: 20837697
Progressive accumulation of PrP(Sc), a hallmark of prion diseases, occurs when conversion of PrP(C) into PrP(Sc) is faster than PrP(Sc) clearance. Engulfment of apoptotic bodies by phagocytes is mediated by...

Martinez-Gamboa L, Mei H, Loddenkemper C, Ballmer B, Hansen A, Lipsky P, et al.
Clin Immunol . 2008 Nov; 130(2):199-212. PMID: 18977183
The effect of splenectomy on circulating memory B cells in autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura (AITP) patients has not yet been addressed. We therefore analyzed the distribution and phenotypic characteristics of B-cell...
