One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the abnormal aggregation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides. Therefore the detection of Aβ peptides and imaging of amyloid plaques are considered as promising diagnostic methods for AD. Here we report a bifunctional nanoprobe prepared by co...
