The paper identifies key molecular steps in the MreB polymerization cycle through genetic screening and biochemical analysis in Bacillus subtilis.

This study shows non-fibrillar prion protein oligomers can transmit folding information during early assembly, challenging the classical fibril-end templating model.

This paper introduces PrP E219K as a new substrate for RT-QuIC that amplifies multiple human prion strains and enables discrimination between sporadic and variant CJD strains.

This paper develops a stochastic reaction-diffusion model to study prion spreading dynamics, showing how non-linear tissue responses and replication kinetics interact to explain strain-specific phenotypes and neuro-invasion.
