“At present blood tests identify changes in pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease, but they haven't been validated to predict whether a person will go onto develop the condition.”
What Dr Sara Rodrigues has said
“The identification of karyoptosis is a crucial step towards finding targets for treatments that could stop or slow cell loss. It could help widen the window for therapies that tackle the underlying causes of disease, bringing us closer to a cure for dementia.”
