Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Fusobacterium nucleatum infection-induced neurodegeneration and abnormal gut microbiota composition in Alzheimer's disease-like rats

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in neuroscience 2022-09-16 Biomarkers

    Oral infection with F. nucleatum could contribute to abnormalities in cognitive ability and pathological change in the brain of AD-like rats, which may be related to abnormal gut microbiota composition.

  2. Cerebrospinal fluid tau levels are associated with abnormal neuronal plasticity markers in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2022-03-28 Genetics

    CSF t-tau levels in AD are associated with altered levels of proteins involved in neuronal plasticity and blood-brain and blood-CSF barrier dysfunction.

  3. Choroid Plexus Acts as Gatekeeper for TREM2, Abnormal Accumulation of ApoE, and Fibrillary Tau in Alzheimer's Disease and in Down Syndrome Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2019-01-01 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Accumulation of tau and ApoE in the choroid plexus may increase the oligomerization rate of Aβ42 and impair tau trafficking, leading to AD pathology.

  4. Diagnosing Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease by the Detection of Abnormal Prion Protein in Patient Urine

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. JAMA neurology 2016-12-01 Biomarkers

    We determined 40% of sCJD urine sample results as positive.
