World-first research led by Western Sydney University has found a connection between the accumulation of rogue proteins in the eye, and Alzheimer’s disease. A finding that could pave the way for an eye test to detect Alzheimer’s disease long before it damages the brain.
The study, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring, saw the team produce unique antibodies to detect rogue proteins called ‘amyloid beta oligomer.” While scientists already know these rouge proteins can be detected as much as two decades before the onset of…
