New biomarker helps differentiate underlying pathologies of frontotemporal lobar degenerationResearchers at the Alzheimer Center Amsterdam (Amsterdam UMC) have published a study on a novel cerebrospinal fluid biomarker, AcTau174, in Nature Medicine. In this study, neuroscientists Madison Honey, Charlotte Teunissen, and colleagues show that AcTau174 concentrations are elevated across multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including two forms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment due to AD (MCI-AD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Importantly, they demonstrate that AcTau174 concentrations can differentiate between underlying pathologies in FTD.
