APOE ε4/ε4 and Fluid Biomarkers in Dementia

Imagine the human brain as a complex orchestra, with different instruments playing different tunes. In this study, scientists focused on one particular instrument called Apolipoprotein-E (APOE) ε4, known to be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). They explored the associations between APOE ε4/ε4 and fluid biomarkers in patients with dementia and AD. Using cutting-edge […]

Unlocking the Crystal Ball: Predicting Cognitive Decline in Parkinson’s Disease

Imagine having a crystal ball that could foretell your future cognitive abilities. Well, scientists have discovered something just as magical: neurofilament light chain protein (NfL) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This protein can reflect the severity of neurodegeneration in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). In a recent study, researchers examined the dynamic profiles of CSF NfL […]
