A patent application titled "Methods And Systems For Diagnosing Diseases" has been published online by the US Patent and Trademark Office. The inventors propose a method for determining the likelihood of a subject having Alzheimer's Disease by enriching a biological sample for proteins associated with the disease and using a microfluidic device and mass spectrometry to analyze the proteins. The method aims to achieve robustness, sensitivity, and throughput for analysis of small-volume samples, such as blood samples, and could facilitate early diagnosis and therapeutic development for Alzheimer's Disease. The inventors highlight the limitations of current diagnostic systems and the need for more accurate and cost-effective assays. [Extracted from the article] |
