How sound is the prion hypothesis by Stanley Prusiner and how exactly does a
normal protein change into a shape that can cause disease and distort other
normal proteins into the "bad" shape? Also, specifically, what is the
experimental evidence for the prion hypothesis and what are the new
developments, if any, in the theory and in finding cures for prion diseases?
