Heterogeneity and Architecture of Pathological Prion Protein Assemblies: Time to Revisit the Molecular Basis of the Prion Replication Process?

Prions are proteinaceous infectious agents responsible for a range of neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans. Prion particles are assemblies formed from a misfolded, &#946;-sheet rich, aggregation-prone isoform (PrP<sup>Sc</sup>) of the host-encoded cellular prion protein (...
