New center aims to accelerate research into biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases

A new center established at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis aims to accelerate research into biomarkers of neurodegenerative conditions such as Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS) and the so-called tauopathies, a group that includes Alzheimer's disease along with rarer diseases such as frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal syndrome and progressive supranuclear palsy.
