Molecular Pathology of the Prions
It is now widely agreed that the prion protein plays a key role in the molecular pathogenesis of prion diseases-diseases that involve the misfolding of proteins-in both humans and animals. In Molecular Pathology of the Prions, noted prion researcher Harry Baker has asked internationally recognized i...
