Scope and Contents The Molecular Biology of Alzheimer's Disease meeting showed that research on this disease is at a more satisfactory stage. This meeting included a remarkable group of studies ranging from neuroanatomical genetics, through protein chemistry, to molecular genetics. In a particularly exciting session, it was shown that p-amyloid protein is not a constituent of the paired helical filaments that accumulate in the tangles and plaques that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. In addition to...
