Researchers develop a new test to detect Alzheimer's earlier by identifying tau protein in spinal fluid.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a new biomarker test that can detect Alzheimer's disease earlier by identifying tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid. The test correlates with cognitive decline and can diagnose the disease before significant brain damage occurs, potentially improving treatment outcomes. This advancement could lead to earlier intervention and more effective treatments for Alzheimer's.
