A study conducted by investigators from Nanjing Normal University in the People's Republic of China focused on developing a sensitive detection method for amyloid-beta protein (A beta) aggregates, which are linked to neurodegenerative diseases. The researchers created a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-modified probe based on plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) to detect A beta aggregates in mouse colorectal carcinoma cells and mouse pancreatic cancer cells. The study, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, concluded that this method has potential applications in predicting and detecting neurodegenerative diseases.
