flag Researchers find a blood protein that may predict dementia risk, potentially enabling early detection.

flag UCLA researchers have identified placental growth factor (PlGF), a blood protein, as a potential biomarker for early detection of dementia. flag Elevated levels of PlGF are linked to increased vascular permeability in the brain, contributing to cognitive decline. flag This discovery could lead to a simple blood test to identify individuals at risk for vascular brain injury before cognitive symptoms appear, enabling earlier interventions. flag Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
