In the past 15 years, biomarkers (biological markers), including new brain-imaging techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans, and new methods to analyze cerebrospinal fluid have helped researchers to detect early changes in brain function in people with Alzheimer's, said Dr. John Morris, a professor of neurology and director of the Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

For example, using radioactive tracers that can bind with amyloid protein deposits in plaque and tau protein in neurofibrillary tangles, researchers can now use PET scans to peer inside the brain to detect whether Alzheimer-related changes are present, Morris said.

Normally, tau proteins help maintain the cell's structure. But in Alzheimer's patients, they've become toxic because they've undergone a certain kind of chemical change, called phosphorylation. Brain cells should recognize that these changed tau proteins are damaged, and should destroy them. But this destruction doesn't happen, and scientists have not understood why. wook: Oooohhh OOOhhh Oooohhhh hand raised frantically!!!
