St. Louis, Nov. 15, 2005 -- A combination of brain scanning with a new imaging agent and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis has left neuroscientists encouraged that they may finally be moving toward ...

A multitude of genes have been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Specifically how those genes might influence the progression of neurodegeneration remains something of a black box ...

CSF-ctDNA was detected in 59% of cases and showed high concordance (84%) with tumor mutations. Lower variant allelic frequency in CSF-ctDNA was associated with significantly worse survival outcomes.

Functional metabolic tomographic optical breast imaging (TOBI) to monitor response to neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2011 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This ...

Researchers with the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and four other institutions have developed a molecular test to identify the presence of brain ...

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: ...

How Is a CSF Glucose Test Done? The most common way to check the glucose in your cerebrospinal fluid is by performing a lumbar puncture, also called a spinal tap. In some cases, your doctor can also ...

Researchers have linked disease-related proteins and genes to identify specific cellular pathways responsible for Alzheimer's genesis and progression. The proteins were gathered from cerebrospinal ...
