Alzheimer's disease: A needle from the haystack
Richard Morris1 & Lennart Mucke2
Abstract
Abnormal protein clumps of many varieties build up in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. But which types actually cause memory deficits? The behaviour of model mice might help to find out.
A huge array of neurodegenerative diseases seems to be caused by abnormal clusters of certain proteins. Many of these disorders are on the rise and cannot be treated effectively, including the most frequent among them — Alzheimer's disease1.
