Dementia, degeneration, and gold nanoparticles
Prof Kazushige Yokoyama, State University of New York Geneseo College, investigates how peptide interactions lead to fibrillogenesis, the process in the brain responsible for some\xa0 symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s disease.
Their research involves coating gold nanoparticles with peptides and using spectroscopic techniques to investigate how these peptides interactions lead to the onset of disease.
