Are PARKIN patients ideal candidates for dopaminergic cell replacement therapies? [PDF]
Parkinson's is a heterogeneous, complex condition. Stratification of Parkinson's subtypes will be essential to identify those that will benefit most from a cell replacement therapy.

A novel semi‐automated 3D immunofluorescence technique enables full volumetric quantification of intraneural phospho‐α‐synuclein load in skin biopsies. It refines conventional visually based signal assessment through a more objective, computer‐assisted procedure and provides burden‐dependent test results important for differential diagnostics.

Neurofilament light chain and tau concentrations are markedly increased in the serum of patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and tau correlates with rate of disease progression [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: A blood-based biomarker of neuronal damage in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) will be extremely valuable for both clinical practice and research aiming to develop effective therapies.

Prion-specific and surrogate CSF biomarkers in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease:diagnostic accuracy in relation to molecular subtypes and analysis of neuropathological correlates of p-tau and A beta 42 levels [PDF]
The differential diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) from other, sometimes treatable, neurological disorders is challenging, owing to the wide phenotypic heterogeneity of the disease.

This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of different skin biopsy site combinations for in vivo detection of phosphorylated‐α‐synuclein, aiming to identify a standardised and less invasive sampling strategy. In a 10‐year retrospective cohort of 227 patients with Lewy body diseases or multiple system atrophy, the cervical plus distal leg combination

Cerebrospinal fluid real-time quaking-induced conversion is a robust and reliable test for sporadic creutzfeldt–jakob disease:An international study [PDF]
Real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) has been proposed as a sensitive diagnostic test for sporadic Creutzfeldt\u2013Jakob disease; however, before this assay can be introduced into clinical practice, its reliability and reproducibility need to ...

Classification of tauopathies from human brain homogenates through salt‐modulated tau amplification
Abstract INTRODUCTION Tauopathies are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders defined by abnormal aggregation of tau protein. Although cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) has uncovered disease‐specific tau structures, translating these insights into diagnostic tools remains difficult. METHODS We developed a heparin‐free, salt‐modulated

Prodromal Lewy Body Symptoms and α‐Synuclein Seeding in Idiopathic Olfactory Dysfunction
Abstract Background Early identification of pathological α‐synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease‐modifying treatments. Objectives We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory ...
