    Abstract Early detection and treatment are crucial for Alzheimer's disease (AD) management. Current diagnostic and therapeutic methods focus on late-stage amyloid fibrils and plaques, overlooking toxic soluble amyloid β oligomers (AβOs) accumulating early in AD. A multifunctional liposome-based platform is designed for early diagnosis and therapy of AD, leveraging a novel self-assembled cyclic d,l-α-peptide (CP-2) that selectively targets AβOs. Biocompatible CP-2 conjugated liposomes (CP-2-LPs) effectively disrupt Aβ aggregation and mitigate Aβ-mediated toxicity in human neuroblastoma cells. In transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans AD models, CP-2-LPs significantly outperformed free CP-2 by improving cognitive and behavioral functions, extending lifespan, and reducing toxic AβO levels. Intravenous injection of fluorescently labeled CP-2-LPs reveals effective blood-brain barrier penetration, with significantly higher brain fluorescence in transgenic mice than WT, enabling precise diagnosis. These findings underscore CP-2-LPs as a valuable tool for early detection and targeted therapy in AD.

    Abstract There is a huge demand for materials capable of simple detection or separation after conjugation with specific biologic substances when applied as a diagnostic tools. Taking into account the photoluminescence properties of C-dots and the highly magnetic properties of Fe(0), a new hybrid composite of these components was synthesized via ultrasound irradiation. The material was fully characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The main goal of the current study was to obtain a highly magnetic and intense fluorescent hybrid material. The goal was achieved. In addition, magnetic particles tended to agglomerate. The new hybrid can be suspended in ethanol, which is an additional feature of the current research. The dispersion of the hybrid nanoparticles in ethanol was achieved by utilizing the interaction of iron particles with C-dots which were decorated with functional groups on their surface. The newly formed hybrid material has potential applications in diagnostic by conjugating with specific antibodies or with any other biologic compounds. Such application may be useful in detection of various diseases such as: cancer, tuberculosis, etc.

    Abstract Effective and accessible treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are urgently needed. Soluble Aβ oligomers are identified as neurotoxic species in AD and targeted in antibody-based drug development to mitigate cognitive decline. However, controversy exists concerning their efficacy and safety. In this study, an alternative strategy is proposed to inhibit the formation of Aβ oligomers by selectively oxidizing specific amino acids in the Aβ sequence, thereby preventing its aggregation. Targeted oxidation is achieved using biocompatible and blood-brain barrier-permeable multicomponent nanoscintillators that generate singlet oxygen upon X-ray interaction. Surface-modified scintillators interact selectively with Aβ and, upon X-ray irradiation, inhibit the formation of neurotoxic aggregates both in vitro and in vivo. Feeding transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans expressing human Aβ with the nanoscintillators and subsequent irradiation with soft X-ray reduces Aβ oligomer levels, extends lifespan, and restores memory and behavioral deficits. These findings support the potential of X-ray-based therapy for AD and warrant further development.

    Abstract A facile one-pot sonochemical synthesis of Cu-, Ag-, and hybrid Cu/Ag-based polydopamine nanoparticles (Cu-, Ag-, and Cu/Ag-PDA-NPs) and the mechanisms by which they exert antibacterial and antibiofilm activities are reported. We showed that the nanoparticles are spherical with a core–shell structure. Whereas Cu is chelated to the shell of Cu-PDA-NPs in oxidation states of +1/+2, the core of Ag-PDA-NPs is filled with elemental Ag°. Sonochemical irradiation of dopamine in the presence of both Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ generates hybrid Cu/Ag-PDA-NPs, whose shells are composed of Cu-chelated PDA with Ag° in the core. The redox potential of the metals was found to be the main determinant of the location and oxidation state of the metals. Leaching studies under physiological conditions reveal a relatively fast release of Cu ions from the shell, whereas Ag leaches very slowly from the core. The metal-containing PDA-NPs are highly microbicidal and exhibit potent antibiofilm activity. The combination of both metals in Cu/Ag-PDA-NPs is especially effective against bacteria and robust biofilms, owing to the dual bactericidal mechanisms of the metals. Most importantly, both Ag- and Cu/Ag-PDA-NPs proved to be significantly more antibacterial than commercial Ag-NPs while exhibiting lower toxicity toward NIH 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Mechanistically, the metal-containing PDA-NPs generate stable PDA-semiquinone and reactive oxygen species under physiological conditions, which contribute at least partly to the antimicrobial activity. We also demonstrated that simple treatment of surfaces with Ag-PDA-NPs converts them to antibacterial, the activity of which was preserved even after prolonged storage under ambient conditions.

    Abstract Imbalanced homeostasis and oligomerization of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in the brain are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Microglia and macrophages play a critical role in the etiology of AD either by clearing Aβ from the brain or inducing inflammation. Recent evidence suggests that clearance of Aβ by microglia/macrophages via the phagocytic pathway is defective in AD, which can contribute to the accumulation of Aβ in the brain. We have recently demonstrated that protein microspheres modified at their surface with multiple copies of an Aβ-recognition motif can strongly bind Aβ, inhibit its aggregation, and directly reduce its toxicity by sequestering it from the medium. Here, we describe how microsphere-bound Aβ can stimulate microglial cells and be phagocytosed through a mechanism that is distinct from that of Aβ removal and, thus, contribute to the clearance of Aβ, even by defective microglial cells. The phagocytosis was most effective, with microspheres having a diameter of <1 μm. The introduction of polyethylene glycol to the surface of the microspheres changed the kinetics of the phagocytosis. Moreover, while aggregated Aβ induced a significant inflammatory response that was manifested by the release of TNF-α, the microsphere-bound Aβ dramatically reduced the amount of cytokine released from microglial cells.
