...The
amyloid-beta
(A-beta)
protein
in
Alzheimer’s,
and
alpha-synuclein
protein
in
Parkinson’s

already
known
to
form
oligomers
that
can
harm
neurons
in
lab
tests...
Glabe,
Arancio,
and
others
believe
that
disease-linked oligomers such as tau and A-beta are toxic
because of an abnormal type of “beta sheet” shape they all
share...
