    Abstract : Aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) is one of the main pathological hallmarks in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The soluble Aβ aggregates (oligomers and protofibrils) have shown to be the most harmful species. Hence, targeting these aggregates can be of therapeutic potential. READ MORE
