The following is a summary of “Plasma Neurofilament Light Chain and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein as Biomarkers of Cognitive Decline in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus,” published in the ...

It occurs when an abnormal protein, called amyloid, builds up and forms deposits in the body. Amyloidosis is closely linked to MM. Amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common type of ...

Others, including NfL (neurofilament light chain protein, indicating damaged axons), and GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein, indicating neuroinflammation), are elevated in many ...

Proteins are composed of one or more chains of amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds and folded into specific three-dimensional structures. Proteins have four levels of structure: ...
