Abstract

Photosensitizer-loaded, upconverting nanoparticles that can function as a near infrared light-responsive inhibitor of β-amyloid peptide aggregation is visualized. The suppression of β-amyloid aggregation is considered to be an attractive therapeutic intervention for treating Alzheimer's disease. In article number 1603139, by Chan Beum Park and co-workers, a new strategy is provided to overcome the drawback of photodynamic treatment of Alzheimer's disease by using hybrid nanoparticles that can be activated under near infrared light.
