Description
Hisashi Nojima presents a 2025 lab paper on a new blood test for GFAP, a protein released when star-shaped support cells in the brain react to injury or stress. This reaction is common around amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Tracking the protein in blood could help doctors follow that process without a spinal tap.
Nojima built the test on a fully automated machine that returns results in about thirty minutes, using a pair of antibodies made for the task. Checks showed the test was precise and could measure the protein even at low levels in healthy young adults. Blood and serum results also matched closely, a good sign for routine use.
