A recent study out of UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) suggests that the research pace into understanding biomarkers for the diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia needs to be accelerated. The review, led by Dr Satoshi Hosoki and published in Nature Reviews Neurology, indicates that multiple molecular biomarkers have been associated with VCID, but none has yet been translated into clinical application. Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) is the second
