  1. Terminally differentiated effector memory T cells associate with cognitive and AD-related biomarkers in an aging-based community cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Immunity & ageing : I & A 2024-06-12 Biomarkers

    These findings suggest that the accumulation of CD8 + T EMRAs may be a response to neuronal injury (Nf-L) and neuroinflammation (GFAP) during aging or the progression of AD and ADRD.

  2. Only increased serum NfL concentrations and decreased hippocampal volume was observed in cognitively unimpaired APOEε4 homozygotes compared to non-carriers.

  3. Plasma GFAP associates with secondary Alzheimer's pathology in Lewy body disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2023-03-31 Biomarkers

    Linear models showed that plasma GFAP was significantly higher in αSyn+AD compared to αSyn (β = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.065-0.56, and P = 0.015), after covarying for age at plasma, plasma-to-death interval, and sex; plasma p-tau 181 was not (P = 0.37).
