Research groups have been hard at work over the past decade to build better biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease. Several blood-based biomarkers are quite advanced in their development. Here, researchers propose a less convenient cerebrospinal fluid biomarker, but still an improvement over the cost of brain imaging technologies when it comes to tracking the progression of the condition. Better, cheaper assays for Alzheimer’s disease are certainly needed, particularly when it comes to the early stages of the condition, in which symptoms are mild or non-existent. Prevention is always easier than coping with a condition in its later stages.
