Novel Pentameric Thiophene Derivatives for <i>in Vitro</i> and <i>in Vivo</i> Optical Imaging of a Plethora of Protein Aggregates in Cerebral Amyloidoses
22 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Molecular probes for selective identification of protein aggregates are important to advance our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis underlying cerebral amyloidoses. Here we report the chemical design of pentameric thiophene derivatives, denoted luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes (LCOs), which could be used for real-time visualization of cerebral protein aggregates in transgenic mouse models of...
