  1. Gamma Secretase Inhibitors in Cancer: A Current Perspective on Clinical Performance

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The oncologist 2021-01-02 Drug development

    Gamma secretase inhibitors (GSIs), initially developed as Alzheimer's therapies, have been repurposed as anticancer agents given their inhibition of Notch receptor cleavage.

  2. Rates of Screening for Breast, Colorectal, and Cervical Cancers in Older People With Cognitive Impairment or Dementia: A Meta-Analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 86 out of 100. Gerontology & geriatric medicine 2018-01-01 Biomarkers

    Studies reported data 1989-2008. The rate of screening for breast cancer by mammography was lower in women with cognitive impairment or dementia compared with those without (pooled odds ratio [OR] = 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.71, 0.91], p = .0007, six studies, N = 18,562).

  3. The metalloproteases meprin α and meprin β: unique enzymes in inflammation, neurodegeneration, cancer and fibrosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The Biochemical journal 2013-03-01 Genetics

    The metalloproteases meprin α and meprin β exhibit structural and functional features that are unique among all extracellular proteases.

  4. The granulin gene family: from cancer to dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology 2009-11-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The growth factor progranulin (PGRN) regulates cell division, survival, and migration.

  5. A common biological mechanism in cancer and Alzheimer's disease?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Current Alzheimer research 2009-06-01 Genetics

    Cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two common disorders for which the final pathophysiological mechanism is not yet clearly defined.
