Quick Link you probably can't read:

Long story short Prions keep myelin myelinated and aren't useless proteins after all.

EDIT: Nature News requires a subscription to see the news, but ScienceNOW does not. (Damn British. :V) So I'm providing the link to ScienceNow in case people are interested in this.
