Understanding and exploiting interactions between cellular proteostasis pathways and infectious prion proteins for therapeutic benefit
Several neurodegenerative diseases of humans and animals are caused by the misfolded prion protein (PrPSc), a self-propagating protein infectious agent that aggregates into oligomeric, fibrillar structures and leads to cell death by incompletely understood mechanisms. Work in multiple biological mod...
