  1. Intracellular amyloid toxicity induces oxytosis/ferroptosis regulated cell death

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cell death & disease 2020-10-06 Genetics

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulates within neurons in the brains of early stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.

  2. Single-Cell Transcriptomics Analyses of Neural Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Contextual Plasticity in a Zebrafish Brain Model of Amyloid Toxicity

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Cell reports 2019-04-01 Genetics

    The neural stem cell (NSC) reservoir can be harnessed for stem cell-based regenerative therapies.

  3. Folic acid deficiency and homocysteine impair DNA repair in hippocampal neurons and sensitize them to amyloid toxicity in experimental models of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2002-03-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Recent epidemiological and clinical data suggest that persons with low folic acid levels and elevated homocysteine levels are at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanism is unknown.
