Blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease: Advances in early detection and monitoring of age-related neurodegeneration

2 weeks 2 days ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a critical global challenge, accounting for over 60 % of the 57 million current dementia cases worldwide, with prevalence projected to exceed 100 million by 2050. Traditional diagnostic approaches, such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and neuroimaging are constrained by invasiveness, high costs, and limited accessibility, particularly problematic in aging population where early detection is crucial for effective intervention. This review synthesizes recent...
