GFAP is a protein specific to the brain released into the bloodstream when brain cells are damaged or destroyed. It is already used in assessing traumatic brain injuries. In a parallel study ...

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels peak around 24 hours after traumatic brain injury (TBI) 2. Higher GFAP levels ...

Patients were diagnosed as having hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke on the basis of results from CT or MRI brain scans. The researchers found that serum GFAP was detectable in 81% of patients with ...

One is a protein called D-dimer, which is associated with blood clots, and the other, called GFAP, is associated with bleeding in the brain. The absence of GFAP helps to rule out a haemorrhagic ...

They then measured the concentrations of five molecular markers that previous research suggested might hold promise for diagnosing brain injuries: GFAP, neurofilament light chain, amyloid-beta 40 ...

This image shows Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and Claudin-5 staining of an affected cell. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...

Serum GFAP and pTau181 were also assessed using Elecsys. The cohort included 139 patients with ALS and 70 patients without ALS. The researchers identified high correlation between all methods used ...

People with brain bleeds had nearly 7 times higher blood levels of a specific brain protein, called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), than those who had strokes caused by clots in a study ...
