AD Biomarkers
Theoretical Basis for Blood-Based Detection
The typical histopathological changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) include the depositionof β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles caused by abnormal phosphorylationof

Tau protein, and the loss of neurons and synapses. Aβ1-42, Aβ1-40, and phosphorylatedTau (P-Tau) are currently widely recognized AD biomarkers both domestically andinternationally. Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) not only tracks AD progression but alsodetects elevated GFAP levels in Aβ -positive individuals without cognitive impairment. Bymonitoring its aberrant expression during the preclinical phase of AD, timely diagnosis andintervention can be guided to effectively slow the progression of AD.
