Testing cytokine levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may rapidly differentiate brain infections from other central nervous system (CNS) diseases, new research suggests. "We have many tests for making ...
In a recent study published in Jama Network, researchers investigated the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Study: Viral Antigen and ...
A spinal headache occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks through a puncture in the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord. This leak decreases the physical support that CSF provides for the ...
A novel blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measure showed promise as a biomarker for Parkinsonian disorders. CSF levels of DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) -- an enzyme that converts levodopa into dopamine - ...
Sequencing circulating tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) improved diagnosis, decision-making, and clinical care in pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with ...
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: ...
