For many years, blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease seemed unattainable, but
recent results have shown that they could become a reality. Convincing data generated with …

Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common contributor to dementia in the world, but
strategies that slow or prevent its clinical progression have largely remained elusive, until …

Biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases are needed to improve the diagnostic workup in
