An illustration of neurons along with two types of damaging protein aggregates found in the Alzheimer’s disease brain: beta-amyloid plaques (brown) and tau protein tangles (blue). UCSF researchers have discovered a third type of aggregate associated with the disease, made of fragments of tau protein (not depicted).

Pharmaceutical chemist Arkin and neurologist Grinberg discover a new protein aggregate in Alzheimer’s disease.
