New Blood Test Could Identify Stage Of Alzheimer’s Disease Just As Accurately As Expensive ScansMicrotubules (magenta) and tau protein (light blue) in a cell model of tauopathy. Researchers believe that tauopathy—the aggregation of tau protein—plays a role in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. This image was captured using Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM).
