Year: 2014
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairment. During AD, Amyloid Beta (A) is deposited extracellularly and forms plaques, disrupting neuronal communication. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modulate amyloid fibrillation pathways. We explored effect of multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) and A
