Nature medcine “A minimally invasive dried blood spot biomarker test for the detection of Alzheimer’s dis ease pathology”

January 26, 2026

QT:{{”
The DROP-AD project investigates the potential of dried plasma spot (DPS) and dried blood spot (DBS) analysis, derived from capillary blood, for detecting AD biomarkers, including phosphorylated tau at amino acid 217 (p-tau217), glial fibrillary acidic protein and neurofilament light. …. Similarly, we demonstrated the successful detection of glial fibrillary acidic protein and neurofilament light with strong correlations between DBS and DPS, respectively, using paired venous plasma samples.

Might find this paper very interesting. Just published this month in Nature Medicine. “A minimally invasive dried blood spot biomarker test for the detection of Alzheimer’s disease pathology.”

There is biological plausibility for an association of health outcomes with ventilation rates, although the literature does not provide clear evidence on particular agent(s) for the effects. Higher ventilation rates in offices, up to about 25 l/s per person, are associated with reduced prevalence of sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms. “}}
