Developing blood biomarkers to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease

There is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), although prescription drug-based treatments that can slow AD progression in some patients are starting to enter clinical use. Biomarkers, quantifiable characteristics of biological processes or pathological conditions of the body, are making it possible to help identify and measure the presence and extent of AD and its degenerative progression.
