Prion Diseases

A prion is a protein that contains no genetic material. It is typically harmless, however in the event that it folds into an unusual shape, it can turn into a rogue agent and influence the structure of the cerebrum or different part of the nervous system. Prions don't imitate or benefit from the host however triggers abnormal behaviour in the body's cells and proteins. Prion infections are uncommon, however they progress quickly, and all are at currently lethal.
