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. β-Amyloid pathogenesis: Chemical properties versus cellular levels

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2015-07-28 Biomarkers

    Although genetic Aβ variants cause early-onset Alzheimer's disease, literature reports on Aβ properties are heterogeneous, obscuring molecular mechanisms, as illustrated by recent failures of Aβ-level targeting trials.

  2. Cellular, synaptic, and biochemical features of resilient cognition in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2012-05-02 Biomarkers

    Although neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in older adults are correlated with cognitive impairment and severity of dementia, it has long been recognized that the relationship is imperfect, as some people exhibit normal cognition despite high levels of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

  3. The cellular localization of the L-ornithine decarboxylase/polyamine system in normal and diseased central nervous systems

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Progress in neurobiology 1999-04-01 Biomarkers

    Natural polyamines, spermidine and spermine, and their precursor putrescine, are of considerable importance for the developing and mature nervous system.
