abstract = {Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion
disorders are fatal infectious diseases that cause
characteristic spongiform degeneration in the central
nervous system. The causative agent, the so-called prion, is
an unconventional infectious agent that propagates by
converting the host-encoded cellular prion protein PrP into
ordered protein aggregates with infectious properties.
Prions are devoid of coding nucleic acid and thus rely on
the host cell machinery for propagation. While it is now
established that, in addition to PrP, other cellular factors
or processes determine the susceptibility of cell lines to
prion infection, exact factors and cellular processes remain
broadly obscure. Still, cellular models have uncovered
important aspects of prion propagation and revealed
intercellular dissemination strategies shared with other
intracellular pathogens. Here, we summarize what we learned
about the processes of prion invasion, intracellular
replication and subsequent dissemination from ex vivo cell
models. View Full-Text},
