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 found that Aβ did not change the fluidity of bulk and raft-type membranes of these cells, even though the concentration of Aβ administered was sufficient to trigger acute programed cell death (apoptosis). The reason for this negative response is yet unclear, and we do not rule out the possibility that Aβ exposure may induce changes in membrane fluidity under other conditions, such as in vivo and in AD patients, through complex mechanisms such as altered lipid metabolism. …”
