A new study has identified a blood-based biomarker panel that can detect #ALS up to a decade before symptoms appear. Using machine learning and protein profiling, researchers found 33 proteins that distinguish ALS from other conditions. ukmndri.org/2025/08/28/2...

Protein signature could predict ALS a decade early

A new study has identified a blood-based protein signature that may predict ALS up to ten years before symptoms appear.
