As follow-up to our recent post about Dr. Janet Mitchell, the new edition of Nature Medicine has news about a promising new test for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Researchers in the United States, Germany and Sweden have identified several proteins that facilitate communication between the immune system and the nervous system. The study compared the expression of these proteins in healthy individuals to those with advanced AD. The test was 90 percent accurate in diagnosing AD in the early stages of the disease allowing for early treatment, and possibly delaying the onset of more serious symptons. Early treatment can help patients and their families better prepare for the devastating effects of this progessive illness.
Will you take the test if it becomes available?
