  1. Serum neurofilament indicates accelerated neurodegeneration and predicts mortality in late-stage Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. NPJ Parkinson's disease 2024-01-09 Biomarkers

    Different stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) are defined by clinical criteria, while late-stage PD is marked by the onset of morbidity milestones and rapid clinical deterioration.

  2. "GrimAge," an epigenetic predictor of mortality, is accelerated in major depressive disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2021-04-06 Genetics

    Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with premature mortality and is an independent risk factor for a broad range of diseases, especially those associated with aging, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Complement C3 deficiency leads to accelerated amyloid beta plaque deposition and neurodegeneration and modulation of the microglia/macrophage phenotype in amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2008-06-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Complement factor C3 is the central component of the complement system and a key inflammatory protein activated in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. Overexpression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1/CCL2 in beta-amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice show accelerated diffuse beta-amyloid deposition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of pathology 2005-05-01 Biomarkers

    Microglia accumulation at the site of amyloid plaques is a strong indication that microglia play a major role in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis.
