Inhibition of amyloid beta toxicity in zebrafish with a chaperone-gold nanoparticle dual strategy

Treating Alzheimer’s disease, one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, is of wide interest. Here, the authors report on the development of casein coated gold nanoparticles which were able to cross the blood brain barrier and protect against amyloid beta toxicity in a zebrafish model.
