Deskripsi

Detecting Alzheimer’s disease from blood samples is challenging because amyloid β blood levels are lower than the ELISA detection limit. Here the authors capture amyloid β bound to circulating exosomes on a plasmonic nanosensor, followed by enzymatic amplification to improve detection sensitivity.
