A method called sonobiopsy releases neurodegenerative disease biomarkers and could be used for the earlier detection of Alzheimer’s disease.
Research from the lab of Hong Chen, at Washington University in St. Louis, and collaborators found that using focused-ultrasound-mediated liquid biopsy in a mouse model released more tau proteins and another biomarker into the blood than without the intervention. This noninvasive method could facilitate diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders.
Several progressive neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, are defined by having tau proteins in the brain.
