As the world’s population ages, health experts are bracing for higher rates of age-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s. Finding new ways to diagnose the condition is more of a priority than ever, ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

Testing for certain proteins in spinal fluid may help doctors diagnose Parkinson's disease earlier and determine how fast the movement disorder is likely to advance, according to new research. The ...

High levels of a certain enzyme in the fluid around a person’s brain and spinal cord could be a sign that they have Parkinson’s disease – potentially enabling the condition to be diagnosed earlier.

Among the many difficult features of Alzheimer’s is that doctors can never really say with certainty which patients who show signs of memory loss will go on to develop the neurodegenerative disorder.
