Other theories and lines of research have begun to prosper due to the lack of tangible human results for anti-amyloid immunotherapies, in particular that neurofibrillary tangles of misfolded tau protein are just as much a target for clearance as is amyloid - β, and that perhaps it is time to focus on the decline of known clearance mechanisms rather than the amyloid itself.
