Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders of humans and animals. The prion hypothesis states that PrPSc, a misfolded conformational isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrPC), is the sole component of the infectious particle. Many open questions exist in prion biology including the cell...
