Description
Millie Sander, Esra Bozbas, and Clive Ballard describe a study in progress on blood markers for dementia, in a 2025 conference paper. Tiny bubbles shed by brain cells travel in the blood and carry cargo from those cells. Reading that cargo might reveal Alzheimer's disease or Lewy body dementia early and help tell the two apart.
The team is collecting blood from patients with each disease, from people with mild memory loss, and from healthy volunteers. They compare three ways of fishing the bubbles out of blood and check their size, yield, and brain origin. At the time of writing, the data were still being gathered, so no results are reported. The authors argue the bubbles are a promising tool but that the best isolation method is still unsettled and needs this kind of head-to-head work.
