| MED | Researchers Determine Toxic Levels of Alzheimer’s Clusters in Brain
Scientists know that small, grape-like clusters of a protein called the amyloid β-protein are toxic, causing Alzheimer’s (AD). By creating various sizes of clusters in the lab that exactly match what forms in AD brains, neurologists at UCLA have determined the toxicity of these clusters, and suggest a target for future drugs.
