The Luminescent Conjugated Oligothiophene h‑FTAA Attenuates the Toxicity of Different Aβ Species
The prevailing opinion is that prefibrillar β-amyloid (Aβ) species, rather than end-stage amyloid fibrils, cause neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease, although the mechanisms behind Aβ neurotoxicity remain to be elucidated. Luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes (LCOs) exhibit spectral proper...
