Published Cellular stress can induce yeast to promote prion formation
(via sciencedaily.com) Biochemists have identified a yeast protein called Lsb2 that can promote spontaneous prion formation. Prions can cause neurodegenerative disorders, such as mad cow/Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, in humans and animals.

Published Two gene classes linked to new prion formation
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have discovered two classes of yeast genes that may hold clues as to why proteins take on the misfolded prion form, a condition associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, such as "mad cow."
