title: Antiamyloid therapy--a distant horizon.
abstract: The characterization of the amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease has led many to believe that they are an early step in the disease process. A number of approaches can be proposed which might impede amyloidogenesis, but the scant data available on this process restricts these to broad categories rather than suggesting specific avenues.
