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 can detect small amounts of the clumping-prone tau protein and its misfolded pathological forms that litter the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and potentially blood, new research suggests.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States have succeeded in developing a new biomarker test that detects Alzheimer's disease years before its symptoms appear. The Russia Today website reported that the new test allows the detection of pathological changes associated with the tau protein, which is naturally found in brain cells (neurons) and plays an important role in stabilizing the cellular structure of neurons, nearly te…

A cerebrospinal fluid biomarker test can detect the first signs of Alzheimer's earlier, even "a decade before" the appearance of neurofibrillary tangles on brain scans, as discovered by a team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in the USA. "Our test identifies very early stages of tau tangle formation, up to a decade before tau clumps can appear on a brain scan.
