Carbon dots (CDs) are promising photothermal nanoparticles that can be utilized in environmental treatments. They exhibit favorable physicochemical properties, including low toxicity, physical and chemical stability, photo-dependant reversible behaviour, and...

An amyloid precursor protein inhibitor (APPI) and amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) are both subdomains of the human transmembrane amyloid precursor protein (APP). In the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease...

Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, exhibits beneficial health properties and has been touted as a potential anti-tumor agent. Here, we demonstrate potent anti-cancer effects of carbon dots (C-dots) synthesized from resveratrol....

Aggregation of the β-Amyloid (Aβ) peptide in brain tissues is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). While Aβ is presumed to be insidiously involved in the disease's pathophysiology, concrete mechanisms...

BIM is a key apoptotic protein, participating in diverse cellular processes. Interestingly, recent studies have hypothesized that BIM is associated with the extensive neuronal cell death encountered in protein misfolding...

Curcumin, the main molecular ingredient of the turmeric spice, has been reported to exhibit therapeutic properties for varied diseases and pathological conditions. While curcumin appears to trigger multiple signaling pathways,...
