POSCAbilities: The Application of the Prion Organotypic Slice Culture Assay to Neurodegenerative Disease Research.Prion diseases are fatal, transmissible neurodegenerative disorders whose pathogenesis is driven by the misfolding, self-templating and cell-to-cell spread of the prion protein.  Consequently, researchers have begun to apply prion-specific techniques, like the prion organotypic slice culture assay (POSCA), to these disorders.
