Scientists around the globe are studying how best to deploy Alzheimer's plasma tests in the real world. Their focus: primary care.
ALZpath’s assay detected an annual rise in plasma phospho-tau217 in amyloid-positive people, with the steepest increase in those who also have tangles.
The enzyme cholesterol 24-hydroxylase protected against cognitive decline and tau pathology—but only in females.
The software could improve prognosis, speed referrals, for people with MCI, the developer claims.
When LOAD2 mice, which carry Alzheimer’s risk variants, eat a fatty diet, their proteomes change, their neurons die, and their memories fail. All sans amyloid plaques.
The biomarker may signal tau’s early days of entanglement, and serve as a useful disease staging indicator, according to a new immunoassay.
Growth-associated protein 43 in the CSF identified people who accumulated tangles fastest. These spread through connected brain regions.
