New study suggest treatments that maintain the health of synapses may help prevent, mitigate the symptoms of prion disease
The most common cause of inherited prion diseases is the E200K mutation of the prion protein (PrP). It is often thought that this mutation causes disease by making PrP more susceptible to misfolding ...
