Abstract
There has been little headway against Alzheimer’s disease despite decades of research into causes, conditions, and cures. Much of this effort has focused on the amyloid beta protein; however, it remains unclear whether it plays a causative or correlative role. Amyloid beta is notoriously difficult to study, and many of the current tools to monitor oligomerization and fibril formation are inadequate and are incapable of measuring the subtle details of plaque formation and deformation. Our preliminary data suggests that multispectral nanoparticle analysis can monitor the sigmoidal self-assembly (R2 = 0.94) of physiologically relevant populations of amyloid beta aggregates in real-time with single fibril resolution.
