Researchers assess the theoretical impact of biomarker framework on dementia prediction
One of the biggest challenges in Alzheimer s research is to identify biomarkers that can identify people who are at risk of developing dementia. Biomarkers could be used to screen people so they might be helped before they develop dementia.
Researchers have focused primarily on three such biomarkers. Two are Alzheimer s-related proteins, amyloid and tau. Amyloid forms clumps in brains, and tau forms skeins of filaments called neurofibrillary tangles. Both can be detected in cerebral spinal fluid or by specialized positron emission tomography (PET) scans. The third marker, brain atrophy, can be seen with CT or MRI scans.

It s Complicated: why some Northwest Latinx residents and farmworkers hesitate on Covid Vaccine By
Vanessa Delgadoâs dad didnât want to take a whole unpaid day off of work to get a vaccine appointment.
Sheâs working on her doctorate in Irvine, Calif., but helped her father, Victor Delgado, get a vaccine close to his home in Benton County, Wash.
âIn my own personal experience, itâs been very complicated,â she says. âWorking around schedules of essential workers but then also making sure that, OK, he canât travel too far, he canât go all the way to Yakima on a work day, that would be just too far.â
