Laboratory Investigation of Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteins [PDF]
Analysis of CSF proteins is useful in the diagnosis and management of neurological diseases in the following situations: In inflammatory conditions when there is breakdown of blood-CSF barrier integrity. Meningitis is a medical emergency, with CSF total protein measurement being only a screening test.

Cerebrospinal fluid is investigated in biomarker studies for various neurological disorders of the central nervous system due to its proximity to the brain. Currently, only a limited number of biomarkers have been validated in independent studies.

How shall we use the proteomics toolbox for biomarker discovery? [PDF]
Biomarker discovery for clinical purposes is one of the major areas in which proteomics is used. However, despite considerable effort, the successes have been relatively scarce.

Total and phosphorylated tau proteins: Evaluation as core biomarker candidates in frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
An ever increasing number of patients with neurodegenerative disorders calls for the evaluation of potential diagnostic markers that allow an early diagnosis and an early initiation of specific therapy. Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the

Characterize the non-Gaussian diffusion property of cerebrospinal fluid using Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging and explore its diagnostic efficacy for Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Differentiating Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients from healthy controls (HCs) remains a challenge. The changes of protein level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of AD patients have been reported in the literature. Macromolecules will hinder the movement of water in CSF and lead to non-Gaussian diffusion.

Disease progression model anchored around clinical diagnosis in longitudinal cohorts: example of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia [PDF]
Background. Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) are characterized by multiple and progressive anatomo clinical changes. Yet, modeling changes over disease course from cohort data is challenging as the usual timescales are inappropriate and time-to-clinical diagnosis is available on small subsamples of participants with short follow-up ...

The genetic regulation of protein expression in cerebrospinal fluid
Studies of the genetic regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins may reveal pathways for treatment of neurological diseases. 398 proteins in CSF were measured in 1,591 participants from the BioFINDER study. Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) were identified as associations between genetic variants and proteins, with 176 pQTLs for 145 CSF ...
