First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study aims to find biological markers (biosignatures) for ALS and FTD, two related brain diseases that are currently hard to diagnose. Researchers will analyze samples like spinal fluid, skin, and tears from 230 adults using advanced techniques. The goal is to create a 'disease fingerprint' that could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnosis, and better ways to track disease progression.
