Cystatin-C is a cysteine protease inhibitor in mammals, which is essential in protein degradation and keeping an equilibrium between inhibitors and proteases. It is thought to be a better marker for renal dysfunction and potential kidney injury than creatinine. Recently, Cystatin-C has been implicated in primary hypertension and may be a novel marker in patients. Cystatin-C has also been implicated in oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of CNS neurons and has been shown to inhibit amyloid-beta deposition in Alzheimer′s disease models.

As cystatin C (CysC) is involved in some forms of neurodegeneration, we investigated the possible relationship between CysC and multiple system atrophy (MSA), including its parkinsonian (MSAp) and cerebellar (MSAc) phenotypes. Cystatin C gene (CST3) haplotypes were determined by PCR

Tuberculosis owes its resurgence as a major global health threat mostly to the emergence of drug resistance and coinfection with HIV. The synergy between HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) modifies the host immune environment to enhance both viral and bacterial
New fluid biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that reveal synaptic and neural network dysfunctions are needed for clinical practice and therapeutic trial design. Dense core vesicle (DCV) cargos are promising cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) indicators of synaptic failure in AD patients.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in the trabecular meshwork (TM) is one of the hallmarks of glaucoma, a group of human diseases and leading cause of permanent blindness. The molecular mechanisms underlying ECM deposition in the glaucomatous TM are not known
