  1. Platelet Amyloid-β Protein Precursor (AβPP) Ratio and Phosphorylated Tau as Promising Indicators for Early Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences 2020-03-01 Biomarkers

    To identify whether platelet amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) ratio, phosphorylated-tau (P-tau) 231, P-tau181, and serine 396 and 404 (Ser396/404) phosphorylated tau are potential peripheral indicators for early Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Blood amyloid-β protein isoforms are affected by HIV-1 in a subtype-dependent pattern

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of neurovirology 2019-07-07 Biomarkers

    This study aimed to compare serum amyloid processing biomarkers among HIV subtype B (n = 25), HIV subtype C (n = 26), healthy HIV-negative controls (n = 18), and patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD; n = 24).

  3. Changes of the enteric nervous system in amyloid-β protein precursor transgenic mice correlate with disease progression

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2013-01-01 Biomarkers

    In Alzheimer's disease (AD), fatal neuronal cell loss occurs long before relevant evidence can lead to a reliable diagnosis.

  4. Despite growing evidence indicating the effects of cytokines, including interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα), and the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in Alzheimer's diseases, little is known about the signalling mechanisms that mediate its activation in response to beta-amyloid protein (Aβ).

  5. Amyloid-β production via cleavage of amyloid-β protein precursor is modulated by cell density

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2010-01-01 Biomarkers

    Mounting evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by the accumulation of the small peptide, amyloid-β (Aβ), a proteolytic cleavage product of amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP).

  6. Astroglial expression of human alpha(1)-antichymotrypsin enhances alzheimer-like pathology in amyloid protein precursor transgenic mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of pathology 2000-12-01 Biomarkers

    Proteases and their inhibitors play key roles in physiological and pathological processes.
