Effects
(1) Nanoconjugate does not affect neuronal viability; it penetrates the cells, and decreases aggregation of Aβ peptide in vitro. (2) when apply nanosystem to a Caenorhabditis elegans AD model, the toxicity of aggregated Aβ peptide is decreased. (3) This work may contribute to the development of therapies for AD based on metallic nanoparticles.
