  • A new study from UC San Francisco may offer the first clear biological markers for frontotemporal dementia, a condition that often affects people in midlife and is difficult to diagnose.
  • By analysing spinal fluid from patients with inherited frontotemporal dementia, researchers uncovered protein changes linked to RNA regulation and brain connectivity; early indicators that could lead to earlier, more accurate diagnosis.
  • These findings could open the door to precision treatments and expanded access to clinical trials for those living with the disease.
