Alzheimer's disease: 5 new variants

Researchers have identified five biological variants of Alzheimer's disease through cerebrospinal fluid analysis, shedding new light on the complexity of the condition.

These variants differ in amyloid production, blood-brain barrier integrity, nerve cell growth, protein synthesis, and immune system functioning.

This breakthrough highlights the importance of personalized medicine in Alzheimer's treatment, as a drug that works for one variant may be ineffective or even harmful for another.

The study paves the way for targeted therapies tailored to specific Alzheimer's variants, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
