Can we stop Alzheimer's early?

This study is a big step towards preventing Alzheimer's before memory problems even start. By looking for specific markers in the blood, researchers hope to identify people at high risk and intervene with treatments like Trontinemab. This approach could change how we tackle dementia, moving from treating symptoms to proactive prevention.
