Protein maps in cerebrospinal fluid offer insight into Alzheimer’s biology

Fighting Alzheimer’s disease is a race against time. By the time most patients are diagnosed and treated, their cognitive symptoms have already advanced significantly.

New research, though, pinpoints protein changes in cerebrospinal fluid highly associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. A better biological understanding of the brain disorder could foster new treatments and earlier intervention — as early as 20 years before onset of symptoms according to models from the study.
