From advances in blood-based biomarkers and AI-driven models of brain resilience to the role of menopause, genetics, and lifestyle, the series explores how sex-specific biology is reshaping early detection and prevention strategies. It also examines whether personalised, sex-informed approaches could transform future Alzheimer’s care.
