Prion diseases are rapidly progressive, incurable neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolded, aggregated proteins known as prions, which are uniquely infectious. Remarkably …
The prion protein (PrPC) is a central player in neurodegenerative diseases, such as prion diseases or Alzheimer's disease. In contrast to disease-promoting cell surface PrPC …
