Clipmark: Beef eaters beware -- safety may be sent packing by Courtney Haden

Creekstone sued the USDA in 2006, and in the case of David v. Goliath, the little guy unaccountably won. A decision handed down by a U.S. district judge in March decreed that Creekstone must be permitted to start its own testing June 1. However, thanks to

Clipmark: Private BSE testing on hold following appeal

Scientists believe that the human illness, Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) - recognised in 1996 - is caused by the consumption of BSE-infected meat. About 160 people are thought to have died of the condition worldwide.

But prions have another characteristic that enables them to wreak havoc. They recruit other, properly folded proteins into misforming along with them, a process Lindquist calls a "conformational cascade." In many organisms, this conformational cascade cre
