Abstract: The accumulation of the amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) is central to the development of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanism by which Aβ triggers a cascade of events that leads to dementia is a topic of intense investigation. Aβ self-associates into a series of complex assemblies with different structural and biophysical properties. It is the interaction of these oligomeric, protofibril and fibrillar assemblies with lipid membranes, or with membrane receptors, that results in membrane permeability and loss of cellular homeostasis, a key event in Alzheimer's disease pathology. Aβ can have an array of impacts on lipid membranes, reports have included: a carpeting effect; a detergent effect; and Aβ ion-channel pore formation. Recent advances imaging these interactions are providing a clearer picture of Aβ induced membrane disruption. Understanding the relationship between different Aβ structures and membrane permeability will inform therapeutics targeting Aβ cytotoxicity.

Cholesterol and Lipid Rafts in the Biogenesis of Amyloid-β Protein and Alzheimer's Disease.
George A. Pantelopulos,Conor B. Abraham,John E Straub +2 more
TL;DR: This work proposes that cholesterol impacts the genesis of Aβ not through direct interaction with proteins in the bilayer, but indirectly by inducing the liquid-ordered phase and accompanying liquid-liquid phase separations, which partition proteins in the amyloid cascade to different lipid domains and ultimately to different endocytotic pathways.

Possible Role of Fibrinaloid Microclots in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): Focus on Long COVID
D. B. Kell,Muhammed Asad Khan,Binita Kane,G. Lip,Etheresia Pretorius +4 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that fibrinaloid microclots can serve to link POTS and fatigue in long COVID in a manner that is at once both mechanistic and explanatory, which has clear implications for the treatment of such diseases.

Membrane and surface interactions of Alzheimer's Aβ peptide--insights into the mechanism of cytotoxicity.
TL;DR: Oligomeric Aβ has been observed to bind more avidly to membranes and cause greater permeation than fibrillar Aβ, which has implications with respect to understanding the causes of Alzheimer’s disease.

Amyloid-Beta interaction with mitochondria.
Lucia Pagani,Anne Eckert +1 more
TL;DR: A modified model of the Alzheimer cascade mitochondrial hypothesis is established showing that Aβ triggers mitochondrial dysfunction through a number of pathways such as impairment of oxidative phosphorylation, elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, alteration of mitochondrial dynamics, and interaction with mitochondrial proteins.

TL;DR: Fibril formation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is associated with cell death of the insulin‐producing pancreatic β‐cells in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and it is shown by fluorescence confocal microscopy on lipid vesicles that the process of hIAPP is accompanied by a loss of barrier function.
