What is believed to be the underlying cause of prion protein plaque formation? A) The PrP^Scproteins are misfolded and aggregated from PrP^cproteins. B) The unstructured N-terminal region of PrP^cis thought to remain unfolded. C) The normal PrP^cproteins are aggregated. D) The PrP^Scprotein adheres to and inhibits cell membranes.
