Test may predict Alzheimer’s 3.5 years before diagnosis
January 30, 2023 -- King’s College London researchers have developed a blood-based test that could be used to predict the risk of Alzheimer’s disease up to 3.5 years before clinical diagnosis. The study, published January 27 in the journal Brain, indicates that human blood components can affect the formation of new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis. Read More
