Briefing by News4U · First published

ITHome reports Bill Gates stating that blood tests and antibody therapies for Alzheimer's have been approved by the FDA, yet adoption remains slow because many doctors and patients are unaware, specialist appointments can take months, and insurance coverage varies by location. Gates also notes new tau-protein tests and drugs are in development, and lifestyle factors may reduce risk. [1]
