Polarimetric and birefringence analysis of presumed amyloid-beta deposits in the retina in association with Alzheimer's disease
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-26)Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease which leads to symptoms such as loss of memory and other neurological dysfunctions, ultimately leading to death. Two key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease are abnormally ... -
Predicting the thioflavin fluorescence of retinal amyloid deposits in association with Alzheimer’s disease and differentiating amyloid protein from alpha-syn
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-02)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019, dementia affects around 50 million people worldwide and this number ... -
Proposed Methods For Measuring and Interpreting Mueller Matrices in In Vivo Retinal Polarimetry
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-23)Mueller matrix polarimetry is the examination of how a sample transforms the polarization state of light. This requires probing the sample with input light of a variety of generated polarization states and analyzing the ... -
The Role of Melatonin in Amyloid Interactions with the Model Neuronal Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-29)The amyloid cascade hypothesis has long directed research efforts in understanding the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), ever since it was first proposed through clinical evidence by Hardy and Higgins in 1992. ...
