🧠 A Blood-Based Clock for Alzheimer’s Symptom Onset

By modeling the rise of phosphorylated tau in cognitively unimpaired individuals, investigators move from predicting if to predicting when. &nbsp; ⏳ Implication: smarter prevention trials, earlier intervention windows, and biologically timed enrollment. &nbsp; ⚠️ Not ready for routine screening—but a compelling proof of concept. &nbsp; The era of temporal precision in neurodegeneration may have begun.
