This document relates to methods and materials for detecting the presence or absence of misfolded polypeptides in a sample. For example, a sample (e.g., a biological sample or an environmental sample) can be exposed to nanoparticles (e.g., nanoparticles having a size of no more than 2 μm (e.g., no more than 1 μm) such as silica nanoparticles (siNPs) having a size of no more than 2 μm (e.g., siNPs having a size of no more than 1 μm)) during a seeded amplification assay to accelerate the aggregation of misfolded polypeptides present in the sample into fibrils and/or polypeptide aggregates (e.g., globular polypeptide aggregates). In some cases, methods and materials provided herein can be used to determine if a mammal (e.g., a human) has a proteinopathy based, at least in part, in the presence or absence of misfolded polypeptides in a sample obtained from the mammal.

Methods for target, biomarker, and patient selection discovery in central nervous system disorders utilizing patient-derived cellular models, spatial proteomics, and machine learning. The method generates neural cells from forebrain regions from induced pluripotent stem cells, performs cell-type specific proteome profiling using antibody-enzyme conjugates and spatial proteome profiling, and applies statistical data augmentation to sparse biological datasets. Machine learning classifiers with SHAP-based feature importance identify ranked biomarkers from mass spectrometry data. The platform enables patient stratification by linking molecular signatures to symptom severity, drug screening through biomarker modulation, and diagnostic applications. Kits comprising antibodies for biomarkers including antibodies for biomarkers identified by the method facilitate implementation.
