10. Visinin-Like Protein 1 (VILIP-1)
Visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) is recognized as a sensitive marker of neuronal injury. Levels of VILIP-1 in cerebrospinal fluid are notably increased in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, reflecting ongoing nerve cell damage. This biomarker may also assist clinicians in distinguishing Alzheimer’s from other neurodegenerative disorders. For more information, see research published in Neurology.
