The unexpected way we might one day diagnose Alzheimer's How do you stop Alzheimer's disease without a simple way to diagnose it? It's a real chicken and egg problem. Discovering a treatment for Alzheimer's requires lots of clinical trials for new drugs-but it's difficult to enroll participants without a way to identify people who have the disease early enough for potential treatments to work. Right now, the best way to diagnose the disease is through a spinal tap or a brain scan. The problem is that the former is invasive and the latter is expensive.

It's hard to overstate how important finding a reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use diagnostic is for stopping Alzheimer's. The good news is that we're finally within reach of that goal thanks to significant breakthroughs over the last couple years.
