Steve,
First off, I cited a link to a Science abstract or article that was current - that stated that prions (mis-folded or misshapen) were the cause of Alzheimers- not a theory - fact.
Second-
2 researchers have found a protein or proteins- directly relating to this condition (and I believe that is the subject)
Proteins were found- and it makes sense to me to look in that area for an answer to this condition as well as other emerging disease- such as Alzheimer's which appears to be associated with 'M'.
Prions are misshapened proteins- simple
It would make sense then to look for a cause of the misshapened proteins in emerging disease.
