Implications of cellular prion protein in tumor biology

Prion proteins (PrP) are primarily known for their role in neurodegenerative conditions like Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, where the misfolded, pathogenic isoform PrPSc propagates by using the normal cellular prion protein, PrPc, as a template, leading to aggregation and neuronal death. PrPc is a widely expressed glycopro...
