Hong Kong researchers advance new diagnostic and treatment methods for Alzheimer's

Hong Kong is emerging as a hub for Alzheimer's research with several key breakthroughs. Researchers at CUHK are trialing a surgical procedure to drain harmful brain proteins, while a team at HKUST has developed a blood test with 96% accuracy for early detection. The initiatives aim to shift Alzheimer's care from late-stage treatment to early community intervention in the city's rapidly ageing population.
