- Chronic wasting disease, the "mad cow disease" of animals like deer and elk, has yet to transmit to humans, but the risk is not zero. The prion continues to spread among cervid populations and could be devastating to public health, agriculture, and wildlife conservation. https://mbio.asm.org/content/10/4/e01091-19 12 comments science

- New study confirms traumatic brain injury can disrupt the function of the brain's waste removal system. When this occurs, toxic proteins may accumulate in the brain, setting the stage for the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/12/141202183311.htm 8 comments science
