    The prion protein family member Shadoo induces spontaneous ionic currents in cultured cells

    Some mutant forms of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) carrying artificial deletions or point mutations associated with familial human prion diseases are capable of inducing spontaneous ionic currents across the ...

    A cationic tetrapyrrole inhibits toxic activities of the cellular prion protein

    Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative conditions associated with the conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into PrPSc, a self-replicating isoform (prion) that accumulates in the centr...

    SK channel modulation rescues striatal plasticity and control over habit in cannabinoid tolerance

    In a mouse model of cannabinoid tolerance, persistent activation of the eCB pathway impairs eCB-mediated long-term depression (LTD) preferentially at connections to striatopallidal neurons. This is associated ...
