Prions are self-replicating proteins that cause neurodegenerative disorders such as “mad cow” disease. These misprocessed protein conformations accumulate in the central nervous system, causing spongiform changes in the brain and eventually death. Since the inception of the protein-only hypothesis — which posits that misfolded proteins are the infectious agents that cause these diseases — researchers seeking to generate infectious proteins from defined components in the laboratory have had varying degrees of success. Here, we discuss several recent studies that have produced an array of novel prion strains in vitro that exhibit increasingly high titers of infectivity. These advances promise unprecedented insight into the structure of prions and the mechanisms by which they originate and propagate.
