Dec. 20 (UPI) -- A new test could bring scientists one step closer to pinpointing the protein associated with Alzheimer's disease and a degenerative neurological disorder found in some NFL players, a study says.
The study -- which included 16 Alzheimer's patients and two boxers with CTE -- detailed a test to detect tau protein clusters that play a role in the development of Alzheimer's and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
