The effects of b-amyloid (25-35) (bA) on cultured astrocytes from rat cortex were studied and compared with those of a scrambled peptide and with untreated cultures. Single addition (from 5 to 200 mg/ml) of bA peptide induced a marked morphological change in astrocytes, changing their flat polygonal
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by an accumulation of senile or neuritic plaques surrounded by activated microglia and reactive astrocytes, the cell processes of which are frequently in contact with the amyloid core. The major component of this amyloid deposit is the amyloid peptide (A or A4)
