Comparison of CSF and serum neurofilament light and heavy chain as differential diagnostic biomarkers for ALS

Steffen Halbgebauer et al.

Summary: The study showed that elevated levels of NfL and NfH in ALS patients compared to other neurological disorders. The correlation between CSF and serum NfL was stronger than that of NfH. CSF NfL had the best diagnostic potential for ALS, followed by CSF NfH, serum NfL, and serum NfH.

Blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease: towards clinical implementation

Charlotte E. Teunissen et al.

Summary: Recent research suggests that blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease may become a reality, with consistent results across different cohorts. Additionally, other blood-based biomarkers can provide information about disease progression and treatment effects.

The diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of plasma biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease

Joel Simren et al.

Summary: P-tau181 shows potential as an effective diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in AD, detecting the disease at MCI and dementia stages and being strongly associated with cognitive decline and gray matter loss.

Plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein is elevated in cognitively normal older adults at risk of Alzheimer's disease

Pratishtha Chatterjee et al.

Summary: The study found that plasma GFAP levels are elevated in cognitively normal older adults at risk of AD, indicating that astrocytic damage or activation may start from the pre-symptomatic stage of the disease and is associated with brain Aβ load. The potential of plasma GFAP to contribute to a diagnostic blood biomarker panel, along with plasma Aβ 1-42/Aβ 1-40 ratios, for cognitively normal older adults at risk of AD was highlighted by the observations from the present study.

Serum markers glial fibrillary acidic protein and neurofilament light for prognosis and monitoring in cognitively normal older people: a prospective memory clinic-based cohort study

Inge M. W. Verberk et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic and monitoring value of serum GFAP and NfL for progression to dementia in individuals with normal cognition. Results showed that high baseline levels of GFAP and NfL were associated with an increased risk of dementia, with GFAP potentially serving as a valuable prognostic biomarker and NfL as a monitoring biomarker.
