Analysis of Large-Scale Network Study of the CSF Proteome in FTLD — Unlocking Molecular Signatures of Neurodegenerative Diseases I. Academic Background and Motivation Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) is one of the most common causes of early-onset dementia (under age 65), triggering a range of progressive behavioral, language, and even moto...
Academic Background Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) is a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized primarily by behavioral changes, language impairment, or motor dysfunction. Although the incidence of FTD is lower than that of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), it remains one of the leading causes of early-onset dementia. The molecular bas...
Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Common Features of Neuroinflammation in Cerebrospinal Fluid Neuroinflammation is a core pathological feature of neurological diseases, involving complex interactions between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the peripheral immune system. Although previous studies have revealed the clonal expansion of lymphocytes in the ...
Numerical Simulation Study of Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage through Cervical Lymphatic Vessels Background Introduction Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear fluid that circulates around the brain and spinal cord, providing physical protection, nutrient supply, and waste clearance for the central nervous system. In recent years, growing evidence sugge...
Study on Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow Dynamics and Its Application in Drug Delivery Background Introduction Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a crucial role in the human spinal canal, responsible for transporting dissolved nutrients and waste products. Due to its pulsatile nature, CSF flow is influenced by cardiac and respiratory cycles. In recent years,...
Association Between Choroid Plexus Volume and Cognitive Function in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Research Study Academic Background With the increasing global aging population, the number of dementia patients is rising annually. Early identification of older adults with declining cognitive function and guiding them toward preventive and thera...
Fabrication and In Vivo Testing of a Sub-mm Duckbill Valve for Hydrocephalus Treatment Academic Background Hydrocephalus is a complex pathological condition characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cranium due to an imbalance between CSF production and absorption. This accumulation leads to increased intracranial pressu...
Single-Cell Atlas Reveals Immunosuppressive Microenvironment and Treg Cell Distribution in Recurrent Glioblastoma Glioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor, with a very high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Although many studies have explored the tumor microenvironment of this disease, the understanding of the immune microenvironment in re...
Research Report: Predictive Role of Cerebrospinal Fluid Routine Parameters in the Disease Process of Multiple Sclerosis Background Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is characterized by a highly variable and unpredictable disease course. In the diagnosis of MS, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is often a standard procedure. However, there has been ongoing d...
