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. Acute exercise alters brain glucose metabolism in aging and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. The Journal of physiology 2024-09-11 Biomarkers

    There is evidence that aerobic exercise improves brain health.

  2. Reactive astrocytes with an increased expression of intermediate filament (IF) proteins Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Vimentin (VIM) surround amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease mutations at the same codon of amyloid precursor protein differentially alter Aβ production

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2013-10-24 Biomarkers

    Autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) or Presenilin (PSEN) genes.

  4. Bapineuzumab alters aβ composition: implications for the amyloid cascade hypothesis and anti-amyloid immunotherapy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PloS one 2013-03-21 Biomarkers

    The characteristic neuropathological changes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other lines of evidence support the amyloid cascade hypothesis.
