Inhibition of P53-related apoptosis had no effect on PrPSc accumulation and prion disease incubation time

Results from several laboratories indicate that apoptosis via the P53 pathway is involved in prion disease pathogenesis. Prion diseases, among them scrapie and BSE, are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders associated with the conversion of PrPC to PrPSc, its conformational abnormal isoform....
