Differential effects of oligomeric and fibrillar amyloid-β1–42 on astrocyte-mediated inflammation

Activated glia, as a result of chronic inflammation, are associated with amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) deposits in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. In vitro, glia are activated by Aβ inducing secretion of pro-inflammatory molecules. Recent studies have focused on soluble oligomers (or p...
