6. Fluid dynamic principles for analysis of intracranial pressure control : application towards space medicine and hydrocephalus
Abstract : Intracranial pressure (ICP) is an important component of the fluid dynamic environment of the brain and plays a central role with regards to the maintenance of normal cerebral blood flow and neuronal function. However, many regulatory mechanisms controlling the ICP are still poorly understood. READ MORE

7. Zinc in cerebrospinal fluid and serum in some neurological diseases
Abstract : The trace elements zinc and copper are essential components of many enzymes, some of which are of importance for the development and function of the central nervous system. Deficiency of the metals has been shown to lead to malformations and to the loss of myelin in animals. READ MORE

8. Proteomic strategies for analysis of cerebrospinal fluid in neurodegenerative disorders
Abstract : ABSTRACT There is a great need for biomarkers to diagnose neurodegenerative disorders, such as the cognitive disorders Alzheimer?s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is in contact with the extracellular fluid of the brain and is consequently a valuable medium for identifying biomarkers for neurological disorders. READ MORE

9. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers for differentiating between Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular dementia
Abstract : Patients suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) run a higher risk of developing dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) being the most common form. Vascular dementia (VaD) is proposed to be the second most common dementia entity, and it includes the clinically relatively homogenous subgroup of subcortical vascular dementia (SVD). READ MORE

10. Cerebrospinal fluid peptidomics: discovery of endogenous peptides as biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease
Abstract : Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), the most prominent example of which is Alzheimer’s disease (AD), has turned out to be among the greatest challenges for modern medicine. Common characteristics of NDs involve the aggregation of proteins, progressive loss of neuronal cells in specific regions of the central nervous system (CNS) and as a result – cognitive and/or functional decline.
