PrP<sup>Sc </sup>accumulation in neuronal plasma membranes links Notch-1 activation to dendritic degeneration in prion diseases

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Prion diseases are disorders of protein conformation in which PrP<sup>C</sup>, the normal cellular conformer, is converted to an abnormal, protease-resistant conformer rPrP<sup>Sc</sup>. Approximately 80% of rPrP<sup>Sc </sup>a...
