  1. Thanks for your blog. I agree that it is important to raise awareness of prion disease, but also to ensure that people are given the facts, not simply scared by the sensationalistic tendencies of media. I hope to contribute to this education too, through blogging (which I am just setting up) and twitter. FYI, I am a neurologist and prion researcher just starting up my own lab in Edmonton, AB, Canada. (BTW – you mean 14-3-3, not 4-3-3)…

  2. Hi Valerie,

    I can’t wait to see your blog once it’s set up! Thanks for finding the blog and commenting. It is so great to see a neurologist and prion researcher with an online presence on blogs and twitter. I am looking forward to all your contributions, both on and offline. I did mean 14-3-3. I must have written in a rush, which is usually how this blog happens.

  3. Pre 1968, vets in Australia successfully used a treatment for a brain wasting disease PEM – Polioencephalomalacia – in livestock, which has similar symptoms to CJD in humans.

    I wonder if doctors know of this treatment, which is also for human use.
