abstract：:Numerous studies have concluded that the interaction of the amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) and cellular membranes contributes to the toxicity and cell death observed in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Aggregated Aβ species disrupt membranes, leading to physical instability and ion leakage. Further, the presence of Aβ ...
