Toward the development of rational therapies in multiple sclerosis: what is on the horizon?

abstract：:Human prion diseases can occur as an idiopathic disorder (sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) or can be acquired, as is the case for variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. These disorders are characterized by the accumulation of a protease-resistant form of the host-encoded prion protein termed PrP(Sc) in the brains of af...
