Serum neurofilament light chain reflects inflammation-driven neurodegeneration and predicts delayed brain volume loss in early stage of multiple sclerosis

Background: Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is a marker of neuroaxonal injury. There is a lack of studies investigating the dynamics of relationships between sNfL levels and radiological disease activity over long-term follow-up in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objectives: To investigate the relationship among repeated measures of sNfL, lesion burden accumulation, brain volume loss and clinical measures. Methods: We investigated 172 patients...
