While age-related brain disorders like Alzheimer's disease often develop slowly across an individual's lifetime, they usually aren't detected until symptoms have already started.
In a new study, Brown-led researchers show that it is possible to track how blood vessels in the brains of mice change over long periods of time. The results begin to give biomedical researchers a tool to identify and study biomarkers in these blood vessels that may hold pivotal clues to early detection of progressive neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
