Scientists know that small, grape-like clusters of a protein called the amyloid beta-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 have determined the toxicity of these clusters, and suggest a target for future drugs.
