"Blood-Based Transcriptomic Biomarkers Are Predictive of Neurodegenerat" by Artur Shvetcov, Shannon Thomson et al.
By Artur Shvetcov, Shannon Thomson, Jessica Spathos, Ann-Na Cho| Texas Medical Center@ AbstractAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a growing global health crisis affecting millions and incurring substantial economic costs. However, clinical diagnosis remains challenging, with misdiagnoses and underdiagnoses being prevalent. There is an increased focus on putative, blood-based biomarkers that may be useful for the diagnosis as well as early detection of AD.
A Systematic Review of the Neuroprotective Role and Biomarker Potential of GDF15 in Neurodegeneration
By Shannon Thomson, John Cueto, Jessica Spathos, Finula I Isik| bioRxiv@ AbstractNeurodegeneration is characteristically multifaceted, with limited therapeutic options. One of the chief pathophysiological mechanisms driving these conditions is neuroinflammation, prompting increasing clinical interest in immunomodulatory agents. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15; previously also called macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 or MIC-1), an anti-inflammatory cytokine with established neurotrophic properties, has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent in recent decades.
