Advances in graphene-based nanoplatforms and their application in Parkinson's disease

Abstract

Graphene and GBNs offer diverse PD management modalities by targeting neurodegeneration, exerting regenerative properties and their use as carriers, biosensors, and imaging agents.

Advancements in amyloid-based biological materials for healthcare, environmental and sensing applications

“…The attractive properties and utility of amyloid fibril-based biomaterials make them suitable candidates for application in therapeutic, health and materials research. 192,193 For the successful application of amyloid fibril-based biomaterials, it is necessary to develop methods for preparation of controlled amyloid fibrils and the identification of various protein species or conformers other than amyloids. However, it is still challenging to control the final homogenous amyloid structures precisely by steering the design at the molecular level, necessitating technological manipulations through structural fine-tuning to assure accurate performance of the composite materials.…”

Machine Learning Assisted Enhancement in a Two-Dimensional Material’s Sensing Performance

“…Its light transmittance may reach 96.7%, and its theoretical thickness is just 0.35 nm. Although it is currently the thinnest known material, it also possesses the highest known strength. − Because graphene’s electrical characteristics respond significantly to ultralow concentrations of adsorbed molecules, its remarkable sensitivity to the surrounding environment is particularly advantageous in sensing applications . Since the isolation of the initial free-standing graphene sheet, graphene and its compounds have gained increased interest in sensing-related applications for its remarkable electrical, chemical, optical, mechanical, and structural capabilities .…”
