Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) have a significant impact on human health. Biomarkers have always been a useful biochemical indicator for making diagnoses. Multiple biomarkers such as amyloid-β (Aβ), tubulin-associated unit (Tau), α-synuclein (α-syn), neurofilament light chain (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) have been proven to be related to NDs. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), due to its unique advantages, is regarded as an effective method for detecting biomarkers. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to evaluate the progress of SERS-based sensors in detecting biomarkers of NDs. In this article, the basic information of SERS and different protein biomarkers are first introduced. At the same time, it elaborates in detail the development of SERS in detecting protein biomarkers and machine learning (ML)-assisted detection. Finally, based on the current status of SERS detection, the problems that need to be solved at present and the future development directions were discussed.
