Join us for a thought-provoking live stream as we delve into the controversial concept of forced prion shedding as a potential therapeutic intervention in prion diseases. Prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, are devastating neurodegenerative disorders caused by the accumulation of misfolded prion proteins in the brain. Traditional treatment options for prion diseases remain limited, prompting researchers to explore innovative approaches to combat these elusive pathogens.

In this live stream, our panel of experts will discuss the intriguing hypothesis of inducing forced prion shedding as a means to mitigate the progression of prion diseases. The concept involves stimulating the release of prions from affected cells or tissues, thereby reducing the overall burden of pathological prion accumulation in the brain. Through a combination of theoretical discussion and cutting-edge research findings, we'll explore the potential mechanisms underlying forced prion shedding and its implications for prion disease management.

However, amid the excitement surrounding this novel therapeutic approach, it's crucial to address the inherent risks associated with prion shedding. Prions are notoriously resilient and can persist in the environment for extended periods, posing a potential risk of transmission and environmental contamination. Furthermore, prions retain their pathological properties even after shedding, raising concerns about the unintended consequences of dispersing infectious prions into the environment.
