ALS plasma biomarkers reveal neurofilament and pTau correlate with disease onset and progression

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We performed a pilot screen to assess the utility of the NULISA™ (Nucleic‐acid‐Linked Immuno‐Sandwich Assay) platform in the identification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) biomarkers. Methods Plasma from 86 individuals (48 ALS, 18 asymptomatic C9orf72 repeat expansion carriers (AsymC9), and 20 healthy controls) was analyzed ...

How to interpret algorithmically constructed topical structures of research specialties? A case study comparing an internal and an external mapping of the topical structure of invasion biology [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In our paper we seek to address a shortcoming in the scientometric literature, namely that, given the proliferation of algorithmic approaches to topic detection from bibliometric data, there is a relative lack of studies that validate and create a deeper understanding of the topical structures these algorithmic approaches generate.
