UC-Irvine Researchers Help Develop First Blood Test To Detect Alzheimer’s Disease Risk
Researchers from UC-Irvine and other academic institutions have developed a blood test that can identify predictors of Alzheimer's Disease, which could help determine whether an individual is at risk for the disease before symptoms occur. While there is no cure for the disease, researchers said earlier detection could enable the development of new treatment options.
