  1. Systematic substrate identification indicates a central role for the metalloprotease ADAM10 in axon targeting and synapse function

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. eLife 2016-01-23 Genetics

    Metzincin metalloproteases have major roles in intercellular communication by modulating the function of membrane proteins.

  2. Multiple proteins implicated in neurodegenerative diseases accumulate in axons after brain trauma in humans

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 2007-07-10 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Studies in animal models have shown that traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces the rapid accumulation of many of the same key proteins that form pathologic aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases.

  3. Alterations in glia and axons in the brains of Binswanger's disease patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Stroke 1997-07-01 Biomarkers

    The pathological alterations in Binswanger's diseased brains include regressive changes in the astroglia and activation of the microglia with a decrease in the oligodendroglia, which were associated with the degradation of both myelin and axonal components.
