The effect of the amyloid-beta peptide on the fluidity of cell membranes : a study by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease which affects up to 80% of patients presenting dementia. One of the key factors thought lead to AD is the aggregation of the amyloid-beta (Aβ) in susceptible brain regions, namely the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Aβ is thought...
