    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2016-08-17 Biomarkers

    In Alzheimer's disease (AD), astrocytes undergo morphological changes ranging from atrophy to hypertrophy, but the effect of such changes at the functional level is still largely unknown.

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

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder.

  4. Effects of diabetes mellitus on astrocyte GFAP and glutamate transporters in the CNS

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Glia 2004-11-01 Biomarkers

    Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as stroke, seizures, dementia, and cognitive impairment.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of virology 2001-08-01 Biomarkers

    The CXC chemokine gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-inducible protein CXCL10/IP-10 is markedly elevated in cerebrospinal fluid and brain of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and is implicated in the pathogenesis of HIV-associated dementia (HAD).

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research. Molecular brain research 1997-07-01 Biomarkers

    The abnormal accumulation of beta-amyloid (A beta) in senile plaques appears to be a central pathological process in Alzheimer's disease.
