How CaCl2 Shapes Amyloid-β Aggregation
2026-09-15
The reference study uses supercritical-angle Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy to resolve calcium-dependent amyloid-β behavior at lipid-membrane surfaces. Its central finding is that a calcium-associated interfacial layer can reduce membrane insertion, while the effect depends on peptide isoform and whether aggregation has already begun.
