Stage‐Specific Patterns of Imaging and Non‐Motor Biomarkers in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Advancements in disease‐modifying therapies for spinocerebellar ataxia Type 3 (SCA3) underscore the need for robust biomarkers to monitor disease progression and evaluate treatment efficacy. Although motor phenotypes have been well characterized, less is known about non‐motor and imaging‐based features across different disease stages.

Efficacy of Fampridine on Refractory Optic Neuritis in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) usually occur with acute refractory optic neuritis (ON). However, there is a lack of efficacious treatments to improve recovery. Since fampridine has been found to improve the prognosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and MS‐related ON, it is necessary to explore the efficacy of fampridine ...

PCGF1 Promotes the Tumorigenesis of Malignancies Through Upregulating CCDC34 in Glioma
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Polycomb group factor 1 (PCGF1) and coiled‐coil domain‐containing protein 34 (CCDC34) have been implicated in tumorigenesis in multiple malignancies. However, their biological functions and prognostic significance in glioma remain poorly defined.

A Two‐Stage Plasma Biomarker Algorithm Reduces Amyloid PET Use and the p‐Tau217 Gray Zone
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐Tau217 leaves 30%–50% of patients in an indeterminate “gray zone” often requiring Aβ‐PET. We developed GRAD (Gatekeeper‐Reflex for Alzheimer's Disease), a two‐stage Aβ‐positivity prediction model to improve classification while reserving Aβ‐PET for residual uncertainty.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Biallelic FIG4 variants classically cause distinct conditions characterized by peripheral neuropathy (Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease type 4J) or skeletal dysplasia (Yunis‐Varón syndrome). However, central nervous system involvement is increasingly recognized. The prevalence and specific characteristics of movement disorders within FIG4‐

Myostatin/Smad3 in Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Biomarkers of Disease Severity and Treatment Response
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Given the role of Myostatin (MSTN) in muscle homeostasis and its modulation by current spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) therapies, we investigated serum MSTN and, for the first time, its downstream effector Smad3 as candidate non‐invasive biomarkers in SMA patients undergoing disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs).
