Detection of Amyloid-beta aggregates in body fluids: a suitable method for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease?

abstract：:Early diagnosis of Alzheimer`s disease (AD) is currently difficult and involves a complex approach including clinical assessment, neuroimaging, and measurement of amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A better mechanistic understanding is needed to develop more accurate and even presymptomatic di...
