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.”
