Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, responsible for 60-80% of all diagnoses. Herein, we reviewed AD, concentrating on the five main factors that influence its onset (Chapter 1). Then, we introduced biosensors, reviewing the fundamentals of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and electroanalytical techniques (Chapter 2). Next, we investigated the antioxidant activity of polyphenols and repurposed therapeutics (RPTs) for potential agents to combat oxidative stress associated with AD (Chapter 3). We then shifted our attention to investigate the ApoE4-SirT1 oligonucleotide interaction. Using electroanalytical techniques (Chapter 4) and SPR (Chapter 5), we showed that ApoE4 interacted with ssDNA but not dsDNA corresponding to the SirT1-promoter sequence. Furthermore, we showed the interaction with ssDNA was isoform specific amongst the ApoE isoforms. At present, we cannot comment on the biological implications of such an interaction, however, our findings have identified a possible ApoE4 aptamer with potential applications in biosensor technology.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
