Researchers from the MPI of Biochemistry and the Technical University of Munich have discovered new diagnostic markers for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects 3 million people worldwide.

A test measuring proteins in spinal fluid may help support the diagnosis of MS, especially in patients whose disease is harder to diagnose.

Exploring the genetic blueprint of cerebrospinal fluid proteins, this study uncovers new markers and therapeutic targets that may unlock advancements in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and care. Study: ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks represent a significant clinical challenge, marked by the aberrant escape of CSF from its usual confines into adjacent structures such as the paranasal sinuses, which ...

Evidence is mounting that multiple sclerosis (MS) may be triggered by one of the most common viruses in the world. The ...

“Latent herpes viruses have the potential to reactivate in people living with HIV which can lead to neuroinflammation and impact long-term brain health,” said Shirin Mazumder, MD, infectious diseases ...
