The earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease are characterized by increasing aggregation of misfolded amyloid-β, but there is considerable debate over the role played by amyloid-β in the onset and progression of the condition. The failure of amyloid-clearing immunotherapies to improve patient outcomes has spurred a great deal of alternative theorizing, some of which regards amyloid-β aggregation as a side-effect of other, more important processes, and some of which adjusts the details by which amyloid-β produces pathology, but retains it as a central pillar of disease onset.
Unfortunately all animal models of Alzheimer’s pathology are highly artificial, as th…
