Calcineurin Controls Cellular Prion Protein Expression in Mouse Astrocytes

Calcineurin Controls Cellular Prion Protein Expression in Mouse Astrocytes

Prion diseases arise from the conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrP<sup>C</sup>) into a self-replicating prion isoform (PrP<sup>Sc</sup>). Although this process has been studied mostly in neurons, a growing body of evidence suggests that astrocytes expr...
