This thesis explores the use of photoluminescent ruthenium(II) complexes for the detection of amyloid aggregation. Furthermore, we report the detection of amyloid aggregates from test tube to cell culture using photoluminescent and lifetime measurements.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
