An endoplasmic-reticulum-specific apoptotic pathway is involved in prion and amyloid-beta peptides neurotoxicity

Prion (PrP) and amyloid-[beta] (A[beta]) peptides are involved in the neuronal loss that occurs in Prion disorders (PrD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), respectively, partially due to Ca2+ dysregulation. Besides, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has an active role in the neurotoxic mechanism...
