Degradation of amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates has been considered as an attractive therapeutic and preventive strategy against Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, an in situ, real-time, and label-free technique is still lacking to understand the degradation process of Aβ aggregates. In this work, we developed a novel method to quantitatively evaluate the degradation of Aβ fibrils by photoactive meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin under UV irradiation with quartz crystal microbalance (QCM).
淀粉样蛋白-β(Aβ)聚集体的降解已被认为是一种有吸引力的治疗和预防阿尔茨海默病(AD)的策略。然而,目前仍然缺乏一种原位、实时、无标记的技术来了解 Aβ 聚集体的降解过程。在这项工作中,我们开发了一种新方法,通过石英晶体微天平(QCM)在紫外光照射下用光敏的间-四(4-磺酸钠苯基)卟啉定量评估 Aβ 原纤维的降解。
