Highly accurate blood test for Alzheimer’s disease is similar or superior to clinical cerebrospinal fluid tests Nicolas R. Barthélemy, Gemma Salvadó, Suzanne E. Schindler, Yingxin He, Shorena Janelidze,
On that last note, the tests could help flag specific biological pathways that could be targeted by new drugs. For instance, the eight microRNAs are known to be involved in processes such as neuroinflammation and programmed cell death, or apoptosis, which play a role in ...
ALS, the most common form of motor neuron disease, can take a long time to diagnose, but a blood test could help doctors spot the condition sooner
Until recently, the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) had been made by the combination of evaluating a patient’s clini...

Dr. Hye said “Blood-based NfL offers a scalable and widely accessible alternative to invasive and expensive tests for dementia. It is already used as a routine assessment in some European countries such as Sweden or Netherlands, and our age-related cut-offs can provide a benchmark and ...

The researchers found that NfL was significantly increased in eight neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's, FTD, DLB, corticobasal syndrome (CBS), ALS and Down syndrome with dementia (DS-D), compared to the control group. Similar results were observe...
To this end, in the last ten years, we built a database including 692 blood data and related clinical observations from 55 ALS and LMND patients. Each blood sample was described by 108 analytes. Starting from this outstanding number of features, we performed a characterization of the two ...
“This invasive, often lengthy, and expensive procedure significantly limits access to care, adds the researcher. Hence the interest in looking for a blood biomarker to enable a rapid diagnosis of Glut1 deficiency syndrome.” Red Blood Cells Lined With Clues ...
