[edit] Expanding The Article

I think should include the criteria for fungal prions:

Two distinct conformational states (duh)
Non-mendelian inheritance
Curable (either overexpression or deletion of Hsp104, and/or exposure to Guanidium Hydrochloride)

If no one disagrees, I'd like to add a couple sections: one dedicated to the [PSI+] prion (including the phenomenon of strains); and another about prion candidates (possibly including the criteria for a fungal prion).

Also, I was thinking of turning Fungal Prions article into a redirect to this, if nobody objects.
