Nature: Blood tests for Alzheimer’s disease could reshape research and care
This Nature article highlights how blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease stand to have the potential to transform diagnostics, and how new treatments and therapies are developed. There is mention of how Bio-Hermes-001, and Bio-Hermes-002, use head-to-head comparisons of blood-based biomarkers and digital tests to explore which combinations of blood-based biomarkers perform best across different populations and […]
GAP Statement on “Interchangeability of blood-based biomarkers and PET to identify Alzheimer’s disease pathology”
“Changes in memory and cognitive health can start decades before symptoms appear. That’s why early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to slowing impact. A new paper co-authored by GAP with our partners at Eli Lilly and Company, “Interchangeability of blood-based biomarkers and PET to identify Alzheimer’s disease Pathology” published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia shows that blood biomarkers (P-tau 217 and Precivity AD) have high agreement with […]

LifeArc: Scientists test whether a finger prick blood test could be used to help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms begin
A major international research project is underway to test whether a finger prick-style blood test could be used to help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. The trial is looking at three proteins in the blood that are associated with Alzheimer’s and comparing this with the current gold standard approach to diagnosing the disease that uses expensive brain […]
