Infectivity versus Seeding in Neurodegenerative Diseases Sharing a Prion-Like Mechanism
Prions are considered the best example to prove that the biological information can be transferred protein to protein through a conformational change. The term “prion-like” is used to describe molecular mechanisms that share similarities with the mammalian prion protein self-perpetuating aggregation...
