Researchers achieve accurate EV analysis to detect brain disease

Brain disorders like Parkinson's (PD) or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) start to develop in patients much earlier than when their first clinical symptoms appear. Treating patients at these early stages could slow or even stop their disease, but there is currently no way to diagnose brain disorders at those pre-symptomatic stages.
