Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), also referred to as brain fluid, is a clear, colourless, and watery bodily fluid that circulates the structures of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for controlling and coordinating the functions of our body's central nervous system (CNS). In addition to acting as a cushion to prevent damage to the brain and spinal cord during mechanical injury or trauma, CSF also aids in transporting neuromodulators and neurotransmitters and the excretion of metabolic waste products from the brain tissues. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in providing immunological protection to brain tissues.
Importance of CSF Biomarker analysis in neurological diseases
Medical professionals and researchers have been using biomarkers, which are proteins that change their expression in various disease conditions, for decades to track the progression of diseases and their response to treatment. Biomarkers could objectively evaluate disorders to replace or supplement subjective techniques for diagnosing individuals with neurological illnesses. While plasma proteins may not accurately represent disease processes in the brain due to the blood-brain barrier(BBB), the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounding the brain and spinal cord may contain more reliable biomarkers of neurological diseases. Therefore, finding robust CSF biomarkers to monitor the onset and progression of neurological disorders is currently a crucial focus for scientists, medical professionals, and clinical researchers to understand the nature and pathophysiology of these diseases. CSF analysis is helpful in diagnosing various illnesses, such as meningitis, encephalitis, brain disorders, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer's disease, among others.
