Researchers from the MPI of Biochemistry and the Technical University of Munich have discovered new diagnostic markers for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects 3 million people worldwide.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks represent a significant clinical challenge, marked by the aberrant escape of CSF from its usual confines into adjacent structures such as the paranasal sinuses, which ...

Using single-cell sequencing, researchers found distinct immune profiles in different CNS tumors, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool.

A test measuring proteins in spinal fluid may help support the diagnosis of MS, especially in patients whose disease is harder to diagnose.
