Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Prion diseases, or Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), are neurodegenerative disorders caused by the accumulation of misfolded conformers (PrP Sc ) of the cellular prion protein (PrP C ). During the pathogenesis, the PrP Sc seeds disseminate in the central nervous system and convert PrP C leading to the formation of insoluble assemblies. As for conventional infectious diseases, v...
