NEURODEGENERATIVE PRION DISEASES. “Increasing evidence argues that prions cause many neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Creutzfeldt-Jacob, and Lou Gehrig’s diseases, as well as tauopathies. The majority of NDs are sporadic, and 10% to 20% are inherited. Some mammalian prions perform vital functions and do not cause disease.”
