Development of impedimetric immunosensor based on modified pt disk microelectrode for detection of amyloid beta in brain tissue lysate / Norazreen Zakaria

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease and clinically characterized by progressive deterioration of memory and decline of cognitive function. Since the only reliable diagnosis for the pathology is histochemical post-mortem examination, therefore, there is a continuing dem...
