  1. The glymphatic system: implications for drugs for central nervous system diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Nature reviews. Drug discovery 2022-08-10 Tau biomarkers

    In the past decade, evidence for a fluid clearance pathway in the central nervous system known as the glymphatic system has grown.

  2. Role of Exosomes in Central Nervous System Diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in molecular neuroscience 2019-10-04 Tau biomarkers

    There are many types of intercellular communication, and extracellular vesicles are one of the important forms of this.

  3. The Relationship between Markers of Inflammation and Degeneration in the Central Nervous System and the Blood-Brain Barrier Impairment in Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    Our findings indicate that YKL-40 may contribute to decreased stability and increased permeability of BBB in AD patients.

  4. Vascular, glial, and lymphatic immune gateways of the central nervous system

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2016-08-13 Tau biomarkers

    Immune privilege of the central nervous system (CNS) has been ascribed to the presence of a blood-brain barrier and the lack of lymphatic vessels within the CNS parenchyma.

  5. HIV-1 replication in the central nervous system occurs in two distinct cell types

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PLoS pathogens 2011-10-06 Tau biomarkers

    Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to the development of HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD).

  6. Effects of age and amyloid deposition on Aβ dynamics in the human central nervous system

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Archives of neurology 2011-09-12 Tau biomarkers

    A reduction in the linear increase in the Aβ levels in CSF samples that is associated with amyloid deposition and a decreased CSF Aβ diurnal pattern associated with increasing age disrupt the normal physiology of Aβ dynamics and may contribute to AD.

  7. Cerebrospinal fluid neopterin: an informative biomarker of central nervous system immune activation in HIV-1 infection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. AIDS research and therapy 2010-06-03 Tau biomarkers

    HIV-1 invades the central nervous system (CNS) in the context of acute infection, persists thereafter in the absence of treatment, and leads to chronic intrathecal immunoactivation that can be measured by the macrophage activation marker, neopterin, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

  8. A gamma-secretase inhibitor decreases amyloid-beta production in the central nervous system

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2009-07-01 Tau biomarkers

    Stable isotope labeling of CNS proteins can be utilized to assess the effects of drugs on the production and clearance rates of proteins targeted as potential disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease and other CNS disorders.

  9. Abeta-related angiitis: primary angiitis of the central nervous system associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2005-01-19 Tau biomarkers

    Idiopathic or primary angiitis of the CNS (PACNS) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are unusual vasculopathies generally regarded as unrelated disorders.

  10. 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.

  11. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of the central nervous system: an evaluation of cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neuroimmunology 1989-07-01 Tau biomarkers

    Cytokines play an important role not only for initiation of immune reactivity but also for development of tissue injury.

  12. Oxidants and the central nervous system: some fundamental questions. Is oxidant damage relevant to Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, traumatic injury or stroke?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Acta neurologica Scandinavica. Supplementum 1989-01-01 Tau biomarkers

    Radicals are species containing one or more unpaired electrons.
