Stress Resilience of Spermatozoa and Blood Mononuclear Cells without Prion Protein

Stress Resilience of Spermatozoa and Blood Mononuclear Cells without Prion Protein

The cellular prion protein PrPC is highly expressed in neurons, but also present in non-neuronal tissues, including the testicles and spermatozoa. Most immune cells and their bone marrow precursors also express PrPC. Clearly, this protein operates in highly diverse cellular contexts. Investigations...
