  1. Association of microplastics in human cerebrospinal fluid with Alzheimer's disease-related changes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of hazardous materials 2025-05-26 Biomarkers

    To investigate potential associations between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microplastics and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology or cognitive function.

  2. A comparison of p-tau assays for the specificity to detect tau changes in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-04-01 Biomarkers

    LMW-specific p-tau assays could be more useful in the diagnostic workup of AD, especially in population-based communities where conditions causing peripheral neuropathy are frequent.

  3. Changes in brain gene expression shared by scrapie and Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 1989-09-01 Biomarkers

    We have isolated two recombinant cDNAs whose corresponding RNAs have an increased abundance in scrapie-infected hamster brain.
