  1. Alzheimer's Disease blood biomarkers measured through remote capillary sampling correlate with cognition in older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Nature communications 2026-05-06 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Blood biomarkers are rapidly becoming established for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnosis.

  2. Capillary angiopathy and aquaporin-4 after Aβ immunisation in Alzheimer’s disease – potential relevance to Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities

    ⚠ Preprint — not yet peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 16 out of 100. medRxiv 2022-12-08 Treatments

    After Aβ immunotherapy, capCAA was increased, likely reflecting the drainage of soluble Aβ towards the vasculature and providing a potential mechanism to disrupt AQP4-containing astrocyte endfeet, resulting in ARIA-E. We did not identify alterations in AQP4, potentially because of limitations in the timing of the post-mortem analysis.

  3. Glial Cell Calcium Signaling Mediates Capillary Regulation of Blood Flow in the Retina

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2016-09-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The results show that, independent of arterioles, capillaries actively dilate and regulate blood flow.
