Scientists have identified a biomarker for Alzheimer's that may help doctors spot the early signs of protein buildup in the ...

Scientists know that a build-up of specific proteins in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, by the time these proteins have become visible in brain scans, disease ...

The presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. These irregular clumps of protein are closely associated with disease progression.

Alzheimer's disease, a type of dementia that profoundly alters a person’s memory and cognitive function, affects an estimated ...

This test can help detect the tangled proteins years in advance of them appearing prominently in brain scans – as much as up to a decade. That's heartening because Alzheimer's disease not only ...

Researchers investigated cerebral small vessel disease, a precursor to dementia, by analyzing data from thousands of ...

Feb. 10, 2025 — Years before tau tangles show up in brain scans of patients with Alzheimer's disease, a biomarker test can detect small amounts of the clumping-prone tau protein and its ...

2025 — Years before tau tangles show up in brain scans of patients with Alzheimer's disease, a biomarker test can detect small amounts of the clumping-prone tau protein and its misfolded ...

University of Cambridge scientists will use the approach to measure brain changes in people with dementia as an alternative to "more costly brain scans ... for the disease, which they hoped ...

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have found that some people diagnosed with a serious type of dementia may actually have a ...
