>Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have devised a biomarker test that can spot small amounts of clumping tau protein in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid, which lead to Alzheimer's disease. Catching these clumps early while still in minute quantities can enable effective intervention. This test can help detect the tangled proteins years in advance of them appearing prominently in brain scans – as much as up to a decade.

Except that recent research shows not all tangles lead to Alzheimer’s and not everyone with dementia has the tangles. Stupid Leslie Stahl did a segment on this on 60 minutes. Now the theory is that some people are immune to the tangles and they don’t know why people without the tangles get dementia. But they still need more research, of course, to find a cure. $$$
