Thrombospondin-4 as potential cerebrospinal fluid biomarker for therapy response in pediatric spinal muscular atrophy
Personal take on this article: This study explores the potential of Thrombospondin-4 (TSP4) as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker for monitoring therapy response in pediatric patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). SMA is a severe childhood neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. Currently, there is a lack of reliable biomarkers that can indicate treatment response in SMA. Researchers conducted proteomic analyses …
