The serum concentration of the calcium binding protein S100B is positively associated with cognitive performance in older adults

The serum concentration of the calcium binding protein S100B is positively associated with cognitive performance in older adults

S100B is a calcium-binding peptide produced predominantly by astroglial cells in the central nervous system. S100B paradoxically has neurotrophic and apoptotic effects, dependent on extracellular concentration. This study investigated the relationship between serum S100B levels and neuropsychologica...
