Yolk–shell nanostructures (YSNs) composed of a core within a hollow cavity surrounded by
a porous outer shell have received tremendous research interest owing to their unique …

Phototherapy, such as photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, holds great
potential for modulation of Alzheimer's β-amyloid (Aβ) self-assembly. Unfortunately, current …

Extracellular deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide aggregates is a major characteristic of
Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Because Aβ peptide aggregates aggravate neuropathy and …

The invention of silica-based bioactive glass in the late 1960s has sparked significant
interest in exploring a wide range of silicon-containing biomaterials from the macroscale to …

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) show attractive anti-Stokes characteristics converting
lower-energy photons into higher-energy emissions. The excellent biocompatibility and …

The aberrant aggregation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the brain has been considered as the
major pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's diseases (AD). Inhibition of Aβ aggregation is …
