New Blood Test Predicts Alzheimer's Decades Early | Santa Fe News
Description
Scientists at the University of New Mexico have created a revolutionary blood test that can predict Alzheimer’s risk up to 10 years before symptoms appear, by detecting the protein p-tau217. This early warning could empower patients and doctors to intervene sooner with treatments, potentially slowing or preventing dementia. While still in development, the test marks a major leap forward—and researchers are also working on a vaccine targeting the same protein, offering hope for breakthroughs in the next decade.
