The NALP3 inflammasome is involved in neurotoxic prion peptide-induced microglial activation

BACKGROUND: Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of an abnormal disease-associated prion protein, PrP(Sc). In prion-infected brains, activated microglia are often present in the vicinity of PrP(Sc) aggregates, and microglial activation is thought to play a...
