Scientists find excess of one brain protein may predict Alzheimer’s years in advance

US researchers have identified a brain protein, TSPO, as a potential early indicator of Alzheimer's disease. Elevated levels were found in young mice and human tissue, suggesting neuroinflammation begins decades before symptoms. This breakthrough could enable early detection, potentially delaying disease progression by five to six years, significantly improving patients' quality of life. Read below to know more!
