Study measuring changes in protein structure establishes new class of Alzheimer’s biomarkers NIH-funded insights into Alzheimer’s biology could help with early diagnosis, future clinical trials https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/study-measuring-changes-protein-structure-establishes-new-class-alzheimers-biomarkers In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers have identified a new type of blood-based biomarker test for Alzheimer’s disease that measures structural changes in proteins, providing more information on the underlying biology of the disease than standard blood tests. The findings, published in Nature Aging, also provide new insights into how Alzheimer’s disease biology may differ between males and females.
