Neurofilament light chain in the vitreous humor of the #eye

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a promising biomarker of neurodegeneration in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood. This study investigated the presence of NfL in the vitreous humor and its associations with amyloid beta, tau, inflammatory cytokines and vascular proteins, apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, systemic disease, and ophthalmic diseases.. ..NfL was detected in all 77 vitreous samples. NfL was not found … Continue reading Neurofilament light chain in the vitreous humor of the #eye
