A Promising New Biomarker Test Could Help Identify Alzheimer’s Risk Up To 10 Years Earlier
The biomarker test is a spinal tap test (also called a lumbar puncture) that uses a needle to remove cerebrospinal fluid (i.e. the fluid inside your spine) to look for these specific clumping-prone regions on tau proteins.
A simple blood test could help detect Alzheimer’s disease earlier
Professor Seán Kennelly from the Tallaght Institute of Memory and Cognition believes this study is a major step forward in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease. He explained that blood-based tests like plasma p-tau217 could make diagnosis more accessible and less stressful for patients.
University of Pittsburgh researchers develop test to detect Alzheimer's earlier
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer's was made by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, where a test was created to detect the disease in the brain earlier.
Biomarker test can detect Alzheimer's pathology earlier
Years before tau tangles show up in brain scans of patients with Alzheimer's disease, a biomarker test developed at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine can detect small amounts of the ...
New biomarker test can detect Alzheimer's years before current methods
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, formed by the accumulation of tau protein into fibrillar structures. These tangles, composed of paired helical filaments and straight filaments,
