That's a cool question about treatments. I guess there's no FDA-approved therapy for mad cow, but I did find this cool animal model using 'anti-prions.' "Here, we report a novel experimental strategy for preventing prion disease based on producing a self-replicating, but innocuous PrPSc-like form, termed anti-prion, which can compete with the replication of pathogenic prions." "...a prophylactic inoculation of prion-infected animals with an anti-prion delays the onset of the disease and in some animals completely prevents the development of clinical symptoms and brain damage." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5738294/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5738294/ So that's more good news. Edit: Hold on, that's the paper you were talking about, right? I didn't make the connection until just now.
