Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest that the initial events of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) oligomerization and deposition in Alzheimer's disease (AD) involve the interaction of soluble oligomers with neuronal membranes. In this study, we show that Aβ42 oligomers are recruited to lipid rafts, which are ordered membrane microdomains rich in cholesterol and gangliosides, resulting in lipid peroxidation, Ca(2+)...
