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.

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 ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry and the Technical University of Munich have discovered new diagnostic markers of multiple sclerosis (MS) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This was ...

Evidence is mounting that multiple sclerosis (MS) may be triggered by one of the most common viruses in the world. 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 ...

In cerebrospinal fluid, titanium, niobium, and zirconium levels were significantly elevated, but only when serum levels of these metals were also increased. This is an important finding as it supports ...

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.

It may be possible to identify the presence of an aggressive brain tumor in children by studying their cerebrospinal fluid, according to new research led by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks represent a significant clinical challenge, marked by the aberrant escape of CSF from its usual confines into adjacent structures such as the paranasal sinuses, which ...
