Prion pathogenesis is faithfully reproduced in cerebellar organotypic slice cultures.

Prion pathogenesis is faithfully reproduced in cerebellar organotypic slice cultures.

Prions cause neurodegeneration in vivo, yet prion-infected cultured cells do not show cytotoxicity. This has hampered mechanistic studies of prion-induced neurodegeneration. Here we report that prion-infected cultured organotypic cerebellar slices (COCS) experienced progressive spongiform neurodegen...
