Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contains brain derived proteins that can be leveraged as biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. However, converting protein intensities to a disease signal remains a challenge because physiology driven changes to the localization of proteins across CSF subcompartments are obscured when CSF is analyzed alone. Where subcompartment data, such as that from extracellular vesicles (EVs), are also measured, separate but parallel analyses of EVs and CSF can obscure their shared disease signal. Here, we present an integrated matrix factorization approach that combines proteomic signals from matched CSF and phosphatidylserine exposed EVs and nanoparticles (EVps). In a ROS/MAP cohort of 48 participants, integrating CSF and EVps signals improved biological concordance across compartments and increased the number of candidate proteins distinguishing participants with AD from controls. Notably, the joint signal identified as many brain related biomarker candidates as studies using substantially larger cohorts. By demonstrating that integration of CSF and EVps proteomes maximizes information from limited samples, this framework offers a path toward more efficient biomarker discovery across two compartments increasingly leveraged in neurodegenerative disease research.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
