beta-Amyloid peptide-induced morphological changes coincide with increased K+ and Cl- channel activity in rat cortical astrocytes.

These authors report evidence that beta amyloid induces changes in ion channel activity in cultured cerebrocortical astrocytes. It is difficult to predict what significance this may have, but since both astrocytic and neuronal processes may be involved in the formation of amyloid plaques, the information is of interest
