The findings suggest that Alzheimer's is a "double-prion" disorder.

What are prions and how are they linked to dementia?

These disorders are caused by abnormally folded proteins called “prions.” Evidence suggests CWD is transmitted via saliva, urine, feces or even inf

CWD is caused by a rogue protein called a prion that infected animals shed through urine, saliva and feces.

Prions can infect both humans and animals, causing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, mad cow disease in cattle, and chronic wasting diseas

Scientists detected abnormal prion proteins in multiple parts of the eye in people who died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
