Researchers are Working on a Blood Test to Identify Alzheimer's Related Proteins to Improve Clinical Trail Results to Develop a Cure

Researchers in Japan and Australia have developed a blood test that can identify people who have high levels of a protein linked to Alzheimer's disease.  If confirmed by further research, this long-sought evaluation might help from the increasingly desperate search for therapies that halt the development of dementia, which affects tens of thousands of people globally.The test identifies people whose brains possess high levels of amyloid-β, a protein which is a vital player in Alzheimer's disease, and this could either cause dementia or become a symptom of it.  The researchers hope that drug developers could use the test to recruit individuals with dementia in to clinical trials before irreversible damage to their brains has happened -- thus making the trials more reliable.
