Storing Alzheimer's biomarkers in one handy place

The nonprofit UsAgainstAlzheimer’s just launched a Biomarkers Repository — an online, searchable database of Alzheimer’s biomarkers. The tool will be regularly updated as new insights into the neurodegenerative disease are discovered, the nonprofit says. 

Biomarkers are increasingly important in Alzheimer’s research. They’re critical to getting a better understanding of the biological underpinnings of the disease — and the hope, according to the nonprofit, is to use the repository to ultimately find better interventions.
