Several recent publications illustrate the scope of Chesebro's research:

  • RNA-seq and network analysis reveal unique glial gene expression signatures during prion infection, 2020, Molecular Brain
  • Prion-induced photoreceptor degeneration begins with misfolded prion protein accumulation in cones at two distinct sites: cilia and ribbon synapses, 2021, Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • Second passage experiments of chronic wasting disease in transgenic mice overexpressing human prion protein, 2022, Veterinary Research
  • Innate immune responses after stimulation with Toll-like receptor agonists in ex vivo microglial cultures and an in vivo model using mice with reduced microglia, 2021, Journal of Neuroinflammation
  • Efficacy of Wex-cide 128 disinfectant against multiple prion strains, 2023, PLoS ONE

Chesebro collaborates frequently with several other researchers, reflecting a broad network within their specialized fields. Frequent co-authors include Brent Race, James F. Striebel, James A. Carroll, Katie Williams, and Chase Baune.

Their research has been published in a range of scientific journals, most notably:

  • PLoS ONE
  • Molecular Brain
  • Veterinary Research
  • Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • Journal of Neuroinflammation

The scientist's contribution to understanding prion diseases, neurodegenerative mechanisms, and molecular biology is signified through their extensive work in both experimental studies and immune response investigations. This includes examination of gene expression in glial cells during prion infection, investigation of prion-induced retinal degeneration, and studies on the efficacy of disinfectants against prion strains.
