New eye test may detect Alzheimer’s disease years before symptoms emerge, study suggests

A new study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease presents an innovative method that may detect signs of Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms appear—using a simple, noninvasive eye test. The technique, called dynamic light scattering spectroscopy, measures microscopic protein movement in the retina and could offer a faster, cheaper, and more accessible way to screen for the disease in its earliest stages. Alzheimer’s disease is the most…

New blood test promises early detection of Alzheimer's disease

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have made a major breakthrough in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. They have developed a new blood test called the Penta-Plex Alzheimer’s Disease Capture Sandwich Immunoassay, or 5ADCSI for short. This test is unique because it can measure five important biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s all […] The post New blood test promises early detection of Alzheimer’s disease appeared first on Kn…
