Published in 2017 at "Journal of Virology"

DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02162-16

Abstract: ABSTRACT The normal cellular prion protein (PrPC) resides in detergent-resistant outer membrane lipid rafts in which conversion to the pathogenic misfolded form is believed to occur. Once misfolding occurs, the pathogenic isoform polymerizes into highly… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience"

DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.1032541

Abstract: The molecular cause of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) involves the conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into its pathogenic form, called prion scrapie (PrPSc), which is prone to the formation of amorphous and amyloid… read more here.
