Gold Nanoparticles Amyloid Fibrils

Authors: George Rajna

EPFL scientists have developed powerful tools to unmask the diversity of amyloid fibrils, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. [29] Gold nanoparticles possess unique optical properties that are used in nanomedicine for anti-cancer therapy and imaging. [28] Gene editing is one of the hottest topics in cancer research. A Chinese research team has now developed a gold-nanoparticle-based multifunctional vehicle to transport the "gene scissors" to the tumor cell genome. [27]
