Looking for Dementia in the Blood with Dr Keenan Walker Brain Explained

This was a brilliant episode as I have long been looking
into the research into a diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia
in general. I for a long time for a paper on diagnostic markers for Alzheimer’s
Disease and demetnai in general because it is one of the roadblocks to help us
understand and eventually cure these diseases. We still cannot diagnose
Alzheimer’s Disease and most dementia’s until 15-20 years into the disease. And
this paper is a big step forward looking at over 5000 proteins in the blood. So
listen in to find out more.
