How do misfolded monomers and oligomeric intermediates cause neuronal toxicity?

OPEN

While the abstract identifies misfolded monomers and oligomeric intermediates as the toxic species rather than aggregates, the specific mechanisms by which these species damage neurons are not explained. Understanding these pathways is essential for developing targeted neuroprotective strategies.
