Abstract
This chapter reviews recent findings that indicate that soluble amyloid oligomers may represent the primary pathological species in Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases. Various amyloids share a number of common properties, including their structures and pathways for fibril formation and accumulation in disease. Recent findings suggest that toxic amyloid oligomers share a common structure, suggesting that they also share a common mechanism of pathogenesisEntities:
