Molecular Nanobiotechnological approaches for the detection and therapy of prion related diseases
Prion diseases are associated with the accumulation in the brain of an abnormal, protease resistant isoform of a host encoded glycoprotein known as prion protein (PrP). Nanotechnology in combination with biotechniques promises a broad spectrum of highly innovative approaches for overcoming the chall...
