Ever seen proteins go rogue? That's prion diseases in a nutshell! The meme shows the terrifying domino effect where one tiny misfolded prion protein (PrP) triggers a catastrophic chain reaction leading straight to death. It's like that one weird-shaped cookie that ruins the entire batch, but instead of disappointing your taste buds, it melts your brain! These microscopic troublemakers are basically protein zombies - they touch normal proteins and convert them into more misfolded monsters. No wonder they're nicknamed "the origami of doom" in research circles!
