Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Recent years have witnessed major advances in our understanding of the molecular bases of prion diseases. These studies not only highlight the protein misfolding as a potential initiator of a neurodegenerative process, they also provide a foundation for considering whether such a process can be common to many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. This makes prion diseases a sort...
