Background: Accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaque in the brain is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). We recently reported that the application of mild magnetic hyperthermia is feasible to target and disrupt Aβ plaques by means of generating localized heat on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) targeted to Aβ aggregates in response to a remotely applied alternating magnetic field (AMF) (Nanomedicine:NBM, 2021). The objective of the current study is to demonstrate the feasibility of mild magnetic hyperthermia stimulation (MNP/AMF) in clearing Aβ deposits in vivo using 5xFAD mice, a well-established transgenic AD mouse model.
