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
## Abstract **Summary:** The conformational change of the 39–43 residues of the amyloid __β__‐peptide (A__β__) toward a __β__‐sheet enriched state promotes self‐aggregation of the peptide molecules and constitutes the major peptide component of the amyloid plaques in Alzheimer patients. The crucial
