Protective role of cellular prion protein against TNFα-mediated inflammation through TACE α-secretase

Abstract Although cellular prion protein PrPC is well known for its implication in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, its functions remain elusive. Combining in vitro and in vivo approaches, we here show that PrPC displays the intrinsic capacity to protect neuronal cells from a pro-inflammat...
