Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a critical global health problem characterized by cognitive degeneration and memory loss. Recent advancements in MicroRNA (miRNA) research have revealed their crucial role in AD development, Leading the way for early diagnosis and targeted treatments. Nanomaterials, renowned for their exceptional properties, have been integrated into biosensors to create highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tools. Among these, electrochemical biosensors, known for their simplicity and affordability, are particularly promising for clinical applications and point-of-care diagnostics. This review focuses on the application of miR-based electrochemical biosensors in early AD detection. We explore the innovative use of nanoparticles to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of these biosensors.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
