In his News story “Blots on a field?” (22 July, https://scim.ag/3T1evDh), C. Piller inaccurately describes my scientific thesis. He implied that my work has misled researchers in the Alzheimer’s disease field by encouraging the development of therapies targeting amyloid plaques, which are composed of amyloid beta protein (Aβ).
