The effect of the amyloid-beta peptide on the fluidity of cell membranes : a study by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy by Ng, Justin Wei Qing

“…We also note the following limitations of our study – 1) because there was no solution-based assaying of the Aβ content, the exact composition of the Aβ solution is unknown; 2) the number and type of membrane probes used is not totally comprehensive; 3) there may be changes to the membrane that are too subtle or complex to be measured by standard ITIR-FCS and 4) our method of Aβ treatment represents an acute, high-dose exposure of cells to Aβ and may not be representative of what happens in the natural AD disease progression. …”
