Biomarker may predict early Alzheimer's disease

(Sanford-Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute) Researchers at SBP have identified a peptide that could lead to the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The discovery, published in Nature Communications, may also provide a means of homing drugs to diseased areas of the brain to treat AD, Parkinson's disease, as well as glioblastoma, brain injuries and stroke.
