Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Clonal expansion of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in lecanemab-associated ARIA

    ⚠ Preprint — not yet peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 16 out of 100. medRxiv 2025-09-21 Treatments

    Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) remain the principal safety concern limiting adoption of anti-amyloid therapies such as lecanemab, yet their underlying biology is poorly defined.

  2. Infiltrating CD8+ T cells exacerbate Alzheimer's disease pathology in a 3D human neuroimmune axis model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Nature neuroscience 2023-08-24 Genetics

    Brain infiltration of peripheral immune cells and their interactions with brain-resident cells may contribute to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

  3. Doublecortin expression in CD8+ T-cells and microglia at sites of amyloid-β plaques: A potential role in shaping plaque pathology?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2018-04-07 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Peculiarly, the DCX+/ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1+ microglia and DCX+/CD8+ T-cells were closely attached, suggesting that these two cell types are tightly interacting and that this interaction might shape plaque pathology.
