Prion Pathogenesis in the Absence of NLRP3/ASC Inflammasomes

The accumulation of the scrapie prion protein PrP(Sc), a misfolded conformer of the cellular prion protein PrP(C), is a crucial feature of prion diseases. In the central nervous system, this process is accompanied by conspicuous microglia activation. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multi-molecular compl...
