Neurofilament light chain and oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) are independent predictors of progression to clinically ...

Exploring the genetic blueprint of cerebrospinal fluid proteins, this study uncovers new markers and therapeutic targets that may unlock advancements in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and care. Study: ...

Immune cells accessing cerebrospinal fluid faithfully recapitulate the characteristics of cells identified in brain metastasis, and could therefore constitute novel biomarkers of response to ...

ST. LOUIS — Assessing blood-brain barrier permeability by using the ratio of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum albumin, known as the albumin index, could have important clinical utility as a ...

In clinical research, a first-time finding may rouse intrigue, but it’s generally independent confirmations of the data that give them potential to leave an indelible mark. That’s why a study of ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, a group of researchers assessed if a precise blood test matches or surpasses traditional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests in detecting ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) affects the peripheral nerves. Tests to diagnose this condition include nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and sometimes an MRI. CIDP ...

Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed elevated neurofilament light protein and proenkephalin levels 23 years before clinical diagnosis of Huntington's disease. Brain imaging showed atrophy in the ...

A meningitis test can diagnose meningitis, and help determine the cause of it. Tests may include a physical examination, blood tests and cultures, and imaging tests. Meningitis occurs when the ...
