Popis: Alzheimer’s disease: New ways to track disease progression Finding new biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may help in tracking disease progression and identifying optimal patient-specific treatments. Although useful markers are available for diagnosis of AD, they are unreliable for tracking disease progression. Looking for better ways to track disease progression, Sun Ah Park at the Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon, South Korea, and coworkers have reviewed alternative AD markers. They report that several markers for axonal degeneration, synaptic loss, brain inflammation and lipid metabolism show promise for tracking AD. Some of these markers can be obtained from blood samples, which are minimally invasive to collect. Use of combinations of markers is especially promising for estimating a patient’s disease stage. These results will contribute to developing tailored treatments for this common cause of dementia.
