  And then you got yer prions, which are just self-replicating proteins, and not considered living, but worth mentioning because they kinda act like it.

    They don’t self-replicate. They interact with well-folded versions of the protein. Causing them to unfold and aggregate into plaques.

      yeah, so they are similar to viruses in that they cant self-replicate because they need something very specific to attach onto to replicate.
