Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of senile dementia, affecting more than 24 million people worldwide. It is characterised pathologically by abnormally high levels of brain lesions in dead and dying neurons, and by elevated numbers of amyloid deposits in the walls of cerebral blood vessels. This book provides a panoramic view across recent in vitro and in vivo studies along with state-of-the-art computer simulations, designed to increase the readers' understanding of oligomerisation and fibril formation.
