简要总结

The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) relies on the detection of protein biomarkers, particularly in cerebrospinal fluid (e.g., Aβ and phosphorylated Tau) or through brain imaging. The invasive nature of lumbar puncture and the numerous contraindications have driven the search for early and reliable diagnostic biomarkers for AD.

Human tears are an accessible biological fluid that has proven relevant in the biomarker search strategy for both ophthalmological and systemic diseases, especially neurodegenerative conditions. Advances in methods for low-volume analysis have facilitated the identification of tear biomarkers. Total tau has been reported as elevated in the tears of patients with AD compared to controls (n=65). Additionally, metabo-lipidomic analyses offer several advantages (accessibility, non-invasiveness, reproducibility) and also appear promising as a diagnostic tool for systemic and neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This supports the relevance of comparing both AD proteins biomarkers and metabo-lipidomic signatures in the tears of patients with AD (Mild Cognitive Impairement (MCI) and dementia) with healthy controls.
