New research has discovered a unique and promising avenue for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) earlier – by analysing AD biomarkers in blood – so that the impacts of dementia can be reduced.
University of MelbourneSep 5 2024 New research has discovered a unique and promising avenue for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease earlier – by analyzing AD biomarkers in blood – so that the impacts of dementia can be reduced.
In a world first, the researchers applied inorganic analytical geochemistry techniques, originally developed for cosmochemistry – for example, to study the formation and evolution of the Earth, the Moon, other planets, and asteroid samples – and adapted these highly sensitive techniques to search for early biomarkers of AD in human blood serum.
Currently, clinical diagnosis of AD is based on medical history, neurological exams, cognitive, functional and behavioural assessments, brain imaging, and protein analysis of cerebrospinal fluid or blood samples.
