ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks serological biomarkers that can accurately reflect disease activity. We established a live cell‐based assay (LCBA) using serum with endogenous complement to quantify the overall cytotoxicity, offering a novel functional tool for monitoring

ABSTRACT Objective Blood biomarkers are increasingly critical for non‐invasive Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnostics and research but typically require on‐site processing. Remote point‐of‐care collection methods could enhance biomarker testing in clinical and research settings.

Stage‐Specific Patterns of Imaging and Non‐Motor Biomarkers in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
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.

The Association of Amyloid‐β and Tau With Synaptic Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective To clarify the relative contributions of amyloid and tau to synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods We included 109 cognitively unimpaired and impaired individuals from the Geneva Memory Center with available CSF synaptic biomarkers (neurogranin, SNAP‐25, GAP‐43). Participants were stratified according to amyloid (A)

A Two‐Stage Plasma Biomarker Algorithm Reduces Amyloid PET Use and the p‐Tau217 Gray Zone
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.

ABSTRACT Objective Inherited ataxias are clinically diverse neurodegenerative diseases, complicating the choice of outcome measures for trials. In spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), regulatory concerns about the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) caused a shift toward functional SARA (f‐SARA), contributing to pivotal trial failure.
