New biomarker can help identify people with a primary tauopathy

Zooming in on a single disease and studying it intensely is often the most productive route to finding treatments. But there's no easy way to distinguish among people living with any of the primary tauopathies - a group of rare brain diseases marked by rapidly worsening problems with thinking and movement - because the symptoms are too similar.
