Provided herein are antibodies, or fragments thereof, that specifically bind to a microtubule-binding region (MTBR) of tau, and uses thereof. Further provided are methods of detecting species of MTBR in blood or cerebral spinal fluid, and the use of such detection for diagnosing, prognosing, or staging pathological features and/or clinical symptoms of tauopathies, and to choose treatments appropriate for a given disease stage.

A process for determining an extent of a central nervous system (CNS) specific neurological condition in a subject including collecting a biological sample of biofluid from the subject and measuring a quantity of a first biomarker, or metabolite of or mRNA corresponding to, the first biomarker from the sample from a dried spot or through a microfluidic device. The biofluid is capillary blood or saliva, which affords ease of collection advantages that are attractive for field-, hospital-, and home-based environments. The process being useful in the diagnosis, care, and management of brain specific abnormal neurological conditions in general, and in particular, to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and (TBI-induced) Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alexander disease, in which a GFAP mutation is implicated in white matter deterioration.

The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a biosensor for detecting a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease, comprising steps of depositing an aluminum oxide film on a Si substrate by an atomic layer deposition system to form an Al2O3/Si substrate; depositing electrical contacts Cr/Au on the Al2O3/Si substrate by a thermal evaporator to form a source, a drain and a planar gate on the Al2O3/Si substrate; providing a bilayer graphene on the Al2O3/Si substrate by thermal annealing under a vacuum environment; providing a bilayer graphene to a low-damage plasma treatment (LDPT) with a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen to form a graphene oxide/graphene (GO/G) layered composite on the Al2O3/Si substrate; and immobilizing an antibody on a surface of the GO/G layered composite through a reaction between amine groups of the antibody and carboxyl groups of GO of the GO/G layered composites, wherein the antibody is specific for p-tau217 protein.

This disclosure provides a method of sample processing, the method comprising (a) obtaining a sample from a subject having or suspected of having neurodegeneration, (b) determining an amount of one or more taxa in the sample, and (c) comparing the amount of the one or more taxa to a control amount. Also provided are methods of treating neurodegeneration.

A sample collection device having a sample container, a solid phase binding material, and a container sealing component is presented. The sample container may have a housing that forms an opening for receiving a sample, and that encloses a space for holding the sample. The solid phase binding material may be disposed within the space enclosed by the housing of the sample container and may be adapted, when the sample contains an analyte, to bind specifically to the analyte. The container sealing component may be removably attachable to the sample container at the opening thereof, and may be adapted, when attached to the sample container, to form a seal around the opening of the sample container.

The present invention relates to a method for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, comprising the steps of (i) determining the level of antibodies against YB-1 in a sample from a subject to be diagnosed, (ii) comparing the determined level in the sample to a control level derived from subjects without Alzheimer's Disease, wherein a decreased level in the sample from the subject to be diagnosed as compared to the control level is indicative of Alzheimer's Disease in the subject.

Disclosed is a method for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease based on deep learning and an SAM, and a SERS substrate therefor. According to an embodiment, a deep learning and self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-based Alzheimer's disease diagnosing method performed by a computer device includes preparing a three-dimensional (3D) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate by continuously stacking nanowire layers arranged in parallel by using a nanotransfer printing technology, forming an SAM on the 3D SERS substrate, and obtaining a Raman signal by applying a metabolite solution on the 3D SERS substrate having the SAM on a surface.

Provided herein are biomarkers present in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for the early detection of pre-clinical Alzheimer's Disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or AD in a subject. The detection of such biomarkers in a subject may be used to inform methods of treating a subject with a therapy (e.g., a drug or biologic) for pre-clinical Alzheimer's Disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or AD. The biomarkers disclosed herein may also be used in methods to monitor the progression of pre-clinical AD, MCI, or AD.

Provided are methods of phosho-tau aggregation-based biomarker discovery, and new utilities for discovered biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, differentiation, and treatment. Novel p-tau sites, p-tau198, p-tau396, and p-tau422, identified through such methods showed comparable or superior characteristics with established p-tau biomarkers, and identified biomarkers were capable of differentiating AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from cognitively normal controls.
