Dopamine-Conjugated Carbon Dots Inhibit Human Calcitonin Fibrillation
The development of biocompatible nanomaterials has become a new trend in the treatment and prevention of human amyloidosis. Human calcitonin (hCT), a hormone peptide secreted from parafollicular cells, plays a major role in calcium–phosphorus metabolism. Moreover, it can be used in the treatment of...
