The early detection of Alzheimer's disease, before symptoms have appeared, is integral to the development of effective treatments. Dynamic light scattering spectroscopy measures the Brownian movement of proteins at the molecular level. This technique may facilitate early Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and the discovery of pharmaceuticals that may prevent symptom development.
