Abstract

In a recent article from Cell Reports Medicine, Kwak et al. generate novel insights about subtyping cognitively impaired individuals based on structural imaging. Quantifying heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease via subtyping could help us harness new disease-modifying therapies and improve patient care by providing a more targeted approach.
