Early Delivery of Misfolded PrP from ER to Lysosomes by Autophagy.
(Int J Cell Biol, 2013)Prion diseases are linked to the accumulation of a misfolded isoform (PrP(Sc)) of prion protein (PrP). Evidence suggests that lysosomes are degradation endpoints and sites of the accumulation of PrP(Sc). We questioned whether ... -
Motor neuron degeneration in spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy is a skeletal muscle-driven process: Relevance to therapy development and implications for related motor neuron diseases.
(Rare Dis, 2014)Non-cell autonomous degeneration has arisen as an important mechanism in neurodegenerative disorders. Using a novel line of BAC androgen receptor (AR) transgenic mice with a floxed transgene (BAC fxAR121), we uncovered a ...
