  1. In the news article cited above, two important facts need clarification. First, protofibrils are fibrillar. Second, the first demonstration that protofibrils were neurotoxic was published by my group, in collaboration with Drs. Hartley, Selkoe, and others, in Walsh et al. J Biol Chem on Sept 3.
