Neuronal Ndst1 depletion accelerates prion protein clearance and slows neurodegeneration in prion infection.

Neuronal Ndst1 depletion accelerates prion protein clearance and slows neurodegeneration in prion infection.

Select prion diseases are characterized by widespread cerebral plaque-like deposits of amyloid fibrils enriched in heparan sulfate (HS), a abundant extracellular matrix component. HS facilitates fibril formation in vitro, yet how HS impacts fibrillar plaque growth within the brain is unclear. Here w...
