The study links GDF15 to cerebral small vessel disease, neurodegeneration, phosphorylated tau, and neuroimmune activation\u2014suggesting this blood biomarker may be more than a bystander. \ud83e\ude78\ud83d\udd2c Key clinical pearl: dementia prevention may need to look beyond amyloid and focus earlier on vascular\u2013immune biology. #Dementia #GDF15 #Neuroinflammation #VascularDementia #MedicalPodcasts ","author_name":"Dr. RR Baliga's 'Podkast for the Kurious Doc'.
