Amyloid β-protein oligomers and Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract excerpt

The oligomer cascade hypothesis, which states that oligomers are the initiating pathologic agents in Alzheimer's disease, has all but supplanted the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which suggested that fibers were the key etiologic agents in Alzheimer's disease. We review here the results of in vivo, in vitro and in silico studies of amyloid β-protein oligomers, and discuss important caveats that should be considered...
