Alzheimer’s: an Unimore project to develop a low-cost biosensor for large-scale screening
Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia. Its diagnosis uses “biomarkers”, the most specific being the increase in levels of tau phosphorylated (p-tau) in CSF. However, the measurement of p-tau in the blood is not yet standardised and
