Beyond amyloid and tau: synaptic and neurodegenerative biomarkers shape MCI progression (opens in new tab)

Accurate prediction of which patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) will progress to dementia remains a major challenge. Current biomarkers detect amyloid pathology with high accuracy but offer limited prognostic value for disease progression. We conducted a prospective analysis in the multicentre BALTAZAR cohort, all diagnosed with MCI at baseline and followed for 3 years. Paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma samples were analysed with the NULISA ultrasensitive multiplex platfo...
