The dispersion relation and confinement of terahertz surface plasmon modes propagating along planar Goubau lines are studied using guided-wave time domain spectroscopy. We demonstrate the radial nature of the surface plasmon mode known as the Goubau mode and the transverse confinement of the electric field over a few tenths of microns (~l/10). We experimentally and computationally observed a transition of the shape of the THz pulses from unipolar to bipolar as the propagation distance increases, indicating that the Goubau line acts as a high-pass filter. The deviation of the dispersion relation curve from a linear law above 600 GHz is discussed.

Background: Recent research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) has highlighted that the oxidative damage is the earliest event of disease. These oxidative modifications are closely associated with inflammatory molecules. It is necessary to explore these two pathways with AD pathophysiology and targeted for therapeutic intervention.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive brain disorder which leads to gradual decline in memory, thinking, behaviour and social skills. The current scenario for drug development is based on neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress. Amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, a major hallmark of the disease activates microglia leading to neuro-inflammation and neuro-degeneration induced by activation of COX-2 via NFkB p50 in glioblastoma cells.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. Dysfunction of mitochondria and oxidative stress are known to aggravate the disease pathology. Sirtuins, NAD-dependent deacetylases, have a well-defined role in this pathway and thus can serve as a potential biomarker for the early detection of the disease.

Due to its relatively short half-life, lecanemab is given as a bi-monthly infusion (typically 10mg/kg). Binding to high abundance plasma proteins (PPB) can influence the pharmacokinetics of drugs in the blood, including their half-life.

Chiral plasmonic nanomaterials with fascinating physical and chemical properties show emerging chirality-dependent applications in photonics, catalysis, and sensing. The capability to precisely manipulate the plasmonic chirality in a broad spectral range plays a crucial role in enabling the applications of chiral nanomaterials in diverse and complex scenarios; however, it remains a challenge yet to be addressed. Here we demonstrate a strategy to significantly enhance the tunability of circular dichroism (CD) spectra of chiral nanomaterials by constructing core-shell hybrid metal-semiconductor structures with tailored shells.
