The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio
