摘要
Research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has improved our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, but diagnosis of patients with ALS has remained difficult. Bowseret al. highlight recent discoveries of biomarkers for ALS—from proteins in biofluids to neurophysiological and neuroimaging findings—and discuss the benefits and limitations of these biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic indicators of disease.
