  1. Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma Biomarkers do not Differ in the Presenile and Late-Onset Behavioral Variants of Frontotemporal Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 49 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2020-01-01 Biomarkers

    The CSF and plasma biomarker profiles did not suggest a more aggressive neurodegeneration in the presenile group (comparable T-tau, NFL, and GFAP levels) or the co-existence of Alzheimer's disease in the late-onset group (comparable and within normal range CSF Aβ1-42 and P-tau).

  2. Patterns of levels of biological metals in CSF differ among neurodegenerative diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of the neurological sciences 2011-02-02 Tau biomarkers

    We measured the levels of some biological metals: copper (Cu), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with neurodegenerative diseases (52 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)), 21 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and 20 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
