User:Berton/New classification sketch

Prions are a confirmed etiology of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, Kuru, Bovine spongiform encephalopathy and a very possible etiology of the Alzheimer's Disease, and other diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, Multiple system atrophy, Huntington's Disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. They are exceptions to Anfinsen's dogma.

Note: As those are protein diseases (proteopathies) then the hypoproteic diet [2] and isoflavones like genistein have a neuroprotective effect. Beyond that, DeepMind made important advances in elucidating the protein folding problem (protein structure prediction) through AI (Levinthal's paradox).

The protovirus main biological function is to cause mutations leading to new species (speciation), but also cause deleterious mutations, including cancer, which is cured by Chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy. [3]
