| Abstract: |
Suggests that prion diseases are a particularly informative example of cellular supercriticality. Background on studies revealing that a prion with an altered structure has a correspondingly altered preference for lipids; Emergence of a proteolipid domain containing different lipids and other factors responsible for post-translational modifications; Importance of proteolipid domains in membrane signalling. |
