Aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ), a characteristic molecular event of AD, may produce neurotoxic aggregates, notably oligomers that can induce a series of pathogenic change, finally leading to AD. Suppression of Aβ aggregates-induced neurotoxicity via intervention of Aβ aggregation or removal of toxic aggregates are considered as an effective approach for AD treatment. Notably, molecular aggregates formed by assembly of organic molecules have demonstrated promising potential to fight Aβ aggregation due to their advantages, such as high binding affinity, blood-brain barrier permeability, as well as synergistic effect between multiple functionalities, resulting from their unique physicochemical properties in the aggregate state. This review focuses on the recent progress of molecular aggregates for fighting Aβ aggregation in terms of inhibition of Aβ aggregation, redirection of Aβ aggregation into non-toxic aggregates, disassembly of Aβ aggregates, and clearance of Aβ aggregates. Representative examples of the molecular aggregates are categorized by assembly block and manner. Their structural design, working mechanism, and potential of anti-AD are highlighted. Finally, the perspectives and challenges of Aβ aggregation-oriented molecular aggregates for future research are also proposed.</p>","PeriodicalId":18054,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics","volume":"226 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, the lower layer, made of P(HEMA<i>-co-</i>AA), expands in alkaline conditions by deprotonation, causing bending toward the opposite direction. The bilayer hydrogel demonstrates significant shape deformations, influenced by variations in layer thickness and pH conditions. Detailed analyses of swelling behaviors, compressive toughness, and rheological properties reveal that the unique composition ensures distinct and tunable mechanical responses. Furthermore, hydrogels fabricated into complex geometries, such as flower- and starfish-shaped structures, showcase practical applications in soft robotics and biomimetic devices. The versatility of the design is further confirmed by substituting P(HEMA<i>-co-</i>4VP) with P(HEMA<i>-co-</i>DMAEMA), which maintained the bidirectional bending responses under both acidic and alkaline conditions.
