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. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a significant risk factor for development of neurodegenerative disorders such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), and Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD) diseases.

  2. Blockade of 12-lipoxygenase expression protects cortical neurons from apoptosis induced by beta-amyloid peptide

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Cell death and differentiation 2004-08-01 Drug development

    The cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways belong to the eicosanoid synthesis pathway, a major component of the chronic inflammatory process occurring in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Apoptosis of astrocytes with enhanced lysosomal activity and oligodendrocytes in white matter lesions in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neuropathology and applied neurobiology 2002-06-01 Biomarkers

    Glial changes are intimately associated with the white matter lesions, and regressive changes in astrocytes and loss of oligodendroglial cells have been reported.

  4. Bcl-2 expression regulates cell sensitivity to S100beta-mediated apoptosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research. Molecular brain research 1999-06-01 Drug development

    The S100beta protein is overexpressed in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome and is able to induce apoptosis in neurons at high concentrations.

  5. Alzheimer's presenilin mutation sensitizes neural cells to apoptosis induced by trophic factor withdrawal and amyloid beta-peptide: involvement of calcium and oxyradicals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 1997-06-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Most autosomal dominant inherited forms of early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) are caused by mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene on chromosome 14.
