The blood biomarker p-tau217 has "shown the most promise in detecting Alzheimer's in the brain," researchers of a new study say.

UC San Diego researchers found a blood-based biomarker can predict a woman's risk of developing dementia as many as 25 years before symptoms appear, according to a paper published Tuesday.

Researchers say elevated p-tau217 levels in older women were strongly linked to future dementia, raising hopes for earlier detection and prevention strategies.

Early detection is imperative to catch neurodegenerative diseases like dementia in their early stages and slow disease progression. But regular cognitive testing is not yet commonplace in healthcare ...

Memory problems have long been considered the primary hallmark of dementia, but a team of researchers is now challenging this view. They argue that changes in sensory perception – from vision to ...

A new study suggests a simple blood test may help predict dementia in women up to 25 years before symptoms appear. Researchers found higher levels of a blood protein called p-tau217 were strongly ...

Scientists found that a blood protein called p tau217 may reveal dementia risk up to 25 years before symptoms appear.

Women with higher levels of p-tau217, a blood protein, were twice as likely to eventually develop dementia or mild cognitive impairment.
