Neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer (AD) and Parkinson (PD) have attracted
attention in last decades due to their high incidence worldwide. The etiology of these …

Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) consist of a few to several hundred gold atoms with a core size
of less than 2 nm. Gold nanoclusters are among the most stable metal nanoclusters and …

Amyloid fibrils, which are closely associated with various neurodegenerative diseases, are
the final products in many protein aggregation pathways. The identification of fibrils at low …

Artificial nanoparticles accumulate a protein corona layer in biological fluids, which
significantly influences their bioactivity. As nanosized obligate intracellular parasites, viruses …

Exposures to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and ozone (O 3) above USEPA standards are
associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Metropolitan Mexico City (MMC) residents …

Society is increasingly exposed to nanoparticles as they are ubiquitous in nature and
introduced as man-made air pollutants and as functional ingredients in cosmetic products as …

A significant pathological signature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the deposition of amyloid-
β (Aβ) plaques in the brain and the synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration associated …

Drug discovery for Parkinson's disease (PD) is challenging. Here we report that gold
nanoclusters (AuNCs) can serve as a novel candidate for the design of anti-PD drugs. With …

Metal ion-induced peptide assembly is an interesting field. As compared to traditional
antibacterial Ag+, rare earth metal ions possess the advantage of antibacterial performance …

Amyloid deposits are implicated in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases
such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). The inhibition of β-sheet formation has been considered …
