Researchers at Imperial College London, the UK Dementia Research Institute and Invicro have uncovered early warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain.
The team scanned the brains of 12 Alzheimer’s patients and 16 healthy controls. They found that, over time, patients with severe disease had altered levels of two key biomarkers for cell stress (S1R) and mitochondria (MC1).
The researchers believe that, together, these mechanisms drive the progression of Alzheimer’s.
