Scientists have been searching for better ways to detect Alzheimer’s disease (AD) early. One promising approach has been measuring levels of certain proteins, called p-tau 181 and p-tau 217, in the spinal fluid. High levels of these proteins are linked to Alzheimer’s, but the test requires a lumbar puncture, which can be painful and invasive.
