CSF Mitochondrial DNA: Biomarker of Body Composition and Energy Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell‐free mitochondrial DNA (cf‐mtDNA) is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated associations between CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, body composition, nutritional status, and metabolic biomarkers in PD. Methods CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, defined as the

Analysis of Soluble Interleukin‐2 Receptor as a Prognostic Biomarker in NMOSD and MOGAD
ABSTRACT Objective Soluble interleukin‐2 receptor (sIL‐2R) is a biomarker for T cell activity. T cells are involved in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD) pathogenesis. However, sIL‐2R has so far not been evaluated in these conditions.
