Path of plaque build-up in brain shows promise as early biomarker for Alzheimer’s Disease
The trajectory of amyloid plaque build-up—clumps of abnormal proteins in the brain linked to Alzheimer’s disease—may serve as a more powerful biomarker for early detection of cognitive decline rather than using the total amount to gauge risk, researchers from Penn Medicine’s Department of Radiology suggest in a new study. Amyloid plaque that starts to accumulate […]
