Alzheimer Disease Detection from Raman Spectroscopy of the Cerebrospinal Fluid via Topological Machine Learning
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 19 subjects who received a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) as well as of 5 pathological controls have been collected and analysed by Raman spectroscopy (RS). We investigated whether the raw and preprocessed Raman spectra could be used to distinguish AD from controls. First, we applied standard Machine Learning (ML) methods obtaining unsatisfactory results. Then, we applied ML to a set of topological descriptors extracted from raw spectra, achieving a very good classification accuracy (>87%). Although our results are preliminary, they indicate that RS and topological analysis together may provide an effective combination to confirm or disprove a clinical diagnosis of AD. The next steps will include enlarging the dataset of CSF samples to validate the proposed method better and, possibly, to understand if topological data analysis could support the characterization of AD subtypes.

SAPNet: a deep learning model for identification of single-molecule peptide post-translational modifications with surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy
Nanopore resistive pulse sensors are emerging technologies for single-molecule protein sequencing. But they can hardly detect small post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as hydroxylation in single-molecule level. …
Machine Learning Classification of Alzheimer's Disease Stages Using Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers Alone
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is a challenge because the existing methodologies do not identify the patients in their preclinical stage, which can last up to a decade prior to the onset of clinical symptoms. Sev…
Binary ClassificationregressionRaman Spectroscopy Reveals Photobiomodulation-Induced α-Helix to β-Sheet Transition in Tubulins: Potential Implications for Alzheimer's and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases
In this study, we employed a Raman spectroscopic analysis of the amide I band of polymerized samples of tubulin exposed to pulsed low-intensity NIR radiation (810 nm, 10 Hz, 22.5 J/cm$^{2}$ dose). Peaks in the Raman fing…
Neuropsychiatric Deviations From Normative Profiles: An MRI-Derived Marker for Early Alzheimer's Disease Detection
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as depression and apathy are common in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and often precede cognitive decline. NPS assessments hold promise as early detection markers due to their correlation w…
