Glial activation in prion diseases is strictly nonautonomous and requires neuronal PrPSc

Asvin KK Lakkaraju, Silvia Sorce, Assunta Senatore, Mario Nuvolone, Jingjing Guo, Petra Schwarz, Rita Moos, Paweł Pelczar, Adriano Aguzzi

The paper shows that glial activation in prion diseases is nonautonomous, requiring neuronal PrPSc to drive neural dysfunction.

Prion infection, transmission and cytopathology modelled in a low-biohazard human cell line

Merve Avar, Daniel Heinzer, Nicolas Steinke, Berre Doğançay, Rita Moos, Séverine Lugan, Claudia Cosenza, Simone Hornemann, Olivier Andréoletti, Adriano Aguzzi

The paper describes a human cell line, hovS, that can be infected with sheep-derived prions and exhibits prion-related cytopathology, offering a safer alternative to human prion studies.
