Background The current diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is based on a series of analyses which involve clinical,instrumental and laboratory ***,signs,symptoms and biomarker alterations observed in AD might overlap with other dementias,resulting in *** Here we describe a new diagnostic approach for AD which takes advantage of the boosted sensitivity in biomolecular detection,as allowed by seed amplification assay(SAA),combined with the unique specificity in biomolecular recognition,as provided by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS).Results The SAA-SERS approach supported by machine learning data analysis allowed efficient identification of pathological Aβoligomers in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with a clinical diagnosis of AD or mild cognitive impairment due to *** Such analytical approach can be used to recognize disease features,thus allowing early stratification and selection of patients,which is fundamental in clinical treatments and pharmacological trials.
