Australian and Japanese scientists have developed the world's first blood test that has the potential to accurately identify people at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease up to 30 years before full-blown symptoms emerge.
The discovery could rapidly speed up the progress of clinical drug trials to treat the disease and could eventually form the basis for routinely screening for and diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in the community.
