The Expanding Universe of Prion Diseases
Prions cause fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative disease. These etiological infectious agents are formed in greater part from a misfolded cell-surface protein called PrP(C). Several mammalian species are affected by the diseases, and in the case of “mad cow disease” (BSE) the agent has a tropi...
