RNA interference as a therapeutic approach in prion disease
Prion diseases are fatal, transmissible neurodegenerative disorders characterised by accumulation throughout the brain of PrPSc, an abnormally folded isoform of the normal cellular prion protein, PrP. PrPSc is associated with infectivity but is not directly neurotoxic and targeting it is of limited...
