A test measuring proteins in spinal fluid may help support the diagnosis of MS, especially in patients whose disease is harder to diagnose.

“Latent herpes viruses have the potential to reactivate in people living with HIV which can lead to neuroinflammation and impact long-term brain health,” said Shirin Mazumder, MD, infectious diseases ...

Using single-cell sequencing, researchers found distinct immune profiles in different CNS tumors, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool.

Researchers from the MPI of Biochemistry and the Technical University of Munich have discovered new diagnostic markers for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects 3 million people worldwide.

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: ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks may be one of the mechanisms that link traumatic brain injury (TBI) with dementia, according to a recently published hypothesis in Alzheimer's & Dementia: Translational ...

It is not possible to test for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak at home. However, knowing the possible symptoms of a CSF leak can help a person know when to seek emergency help to receive a diagnosis ...

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 ...

In addition to brain imaging, laboratory analysis of cerebrospinal fluid is important for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, proteomic analysis of this fluid has revealed a set ...
