  <body><![CDATA[<p>By 2050, more than 150 million people are projected to be living with dementia. Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease, the most common form of dementia, makes up roughly 70% of all cases.

But while increasingly accurate biochemical markers are helping diagnose Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease earlier, treatments to stall the disease in its early stages remain elusive.</p>
