Synaptic Dysfunction in Prion Diseases: A Trafficking Problem?
Synaptic dysfunction is an important cause of neurological symptoms in prion diseases, a class of clinically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolding of the cellular prion protein (PrPC). Experimental data suggest that accumulation of misfolded PrPC in the endoplasmic reticulum...
