Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, and its overall incidence is rising as the proportion of older individuals in the population increases. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as lumbar puncture and neuroimaging, are costly and invasive, driving the search for blood-based biomarkers (BBB) for early diagnosis. The quantification of these biomarkers requires ultrasensitive techniques, such as the single-molecule array (SIMOA) platform. This systematic review synthesizes the available evidence on the biomarkers β-amyloid (Aβ42, Aβ40, and their ratio), tau protein (t-Tau, p-Tau181, p-Tau231, p-Tau217), neurofilament light chain (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in studies analyzing their blood concentrations using SIMOA, regardless of the platform model (SR-X, HD-1, HD-X). Findings support the potential of plasma biomarkers as an alternative or complement to invasive methods, although further validation is required before clinical implementation.
期刊介绍:
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology publishes original research concerned with the analysis of neuronal and brain function at the cellular and subcellular levels. The journal offers timely, peer-reviewed articles that describe anatomic, genetic, physiologic, pharmacologic, and biochemical approaches to the study of neuronal function and the analysis of elementary mechanisms. Studies are presented on isolated mammalian tissues and intact animals, with investigations aimed at the molecular mechanisms or neuronal responses at the level of single cells. Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology also presents studies of the effects of neurons on other organ systems, such as analysis of the electrical or biochemical response to neurotransmitters or neurohormones on smooth muscle or gland cells.
