FIBROBLAST GROWTH PATTERNS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
摘要
Methods of diagnosing Alzheimer's disease are provided. At least five methods of diagnostic measurements are presented: Method 1 : Integrated score; Method 2: Average aggregate area per number of aggregates; Method 3: Cell migration analysis; Method 4: Fractal analysis; Method 5: Lacunarity Analysis. In certain embodiments, a sample of a subject's skin provides a network of fibroblasts that is imaged and a fractal dimension of the image is calculated. The fractal dimension can be compared to an aged- matched control (non-Alzheimer's) database to determine if the subject has Alzheimer's disease. The network of fibroblasts may be cultured in a matrix, for example in a protein
