Astrocyte reactivity influences amyloid-β effects on tau pathology in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease
Aβ was associated with increased plasma phosphorylated tau only in individuals positive for astrocyte reactivity (Ast+).

#FDA just approved Qalsody (tofersen) for #ALS with #SOD1 mutation (~2% of ALS cases), based on a ⬇️ of the #biomarker neurofilament (NFL) in the plasma.
🔹 ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, attacking nerve cells that control voluntary muscles (e.g., breathing)
🔹 Qalsody is given intrathecally (in the spine) with 3 initial doses at 14-day intervals and maintenance every 28 days
🔹 Most common side effects were pain, fatigue, joint pain, ⬆️ white blood cells in the CSF, and muscle pain

1/4 If you read one #depression #biomarker paper this year, read this one by Nils & the gang. They looked at a large sample of depressed and healthy participants, investigating numerous features (neuro, genetics, etc) in 2.4 million #MachineLearing models. https://twitter.com/NilsRWinter/status/1633458191643312128

“Given how conservative the #NIH is, any talk about a #biomarker is noteworthy. The NIH, though, wasn’t exactly out on the skinny branches with that possibility. The studies were big enough (>200 people per study) and rigorous enough so that any common findings would automatically bring up talk of a biomarker.”

Pick a publication on cellular #senescence at random and it likely describes something completely new: a hitherto unknown #biomarker to rule them all, a suspiciously overlooked key contribution to age-associated diseases or yet another essential molecular cogwheel. So it’s refreshing to read a manuscript critically analysing previous findings:
Battaglia et al.

#PwME may be interested in this by #HealthRising:
‘“What about #MECFS, #FM, and similar diseases?”. Given the close physiological overlap between ME/CFS/FM and #LongCovid, my question is: why would a similar #biomarker not apply to these diseases as well? Dr. Nath may be right – if you solve one of these mystery diseases, you’ll probably be well on the way to solving the others.

Spinal Cord Abnormalities Correlate With Disease Severity in FA
Results show utility of MRI as biomarker in tracking disease progression
Damage to the spinal dorsal column seems developmental whereas damage of the corticospinal tract may be both developmental and degenerative in origin.

Forté et.al., in a 2021 study measured #clinical #biomarker levels among a #farmworker cohort in Northern #Thailand who use #pesticides. CBC & urine findings were consistent w/exposures to #chlorpyrifos #metal-axyl & #methomyl
1. Stat. signif. AChE decrease w/methomyl exposure
2. Stat. signif. increases in #eosinophil, urine creatinine, & MCV
3. Stat. signif. decreases in #monocytes #RBC & #WBC counts, and serum Ca2+
4. self-rptd 'dizziness' 'tremors'
5. Non-Std. PPE used
