  1. Rapamycin treatment for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias: a pilot phase 1 clinical trial

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Communications medicine 2025-05-20 Biomarkers

    Rapamycin is not detectable in the CSF before or after treatment, but several Alzheimer's disease and inflammatory biomarkers increase after treatment.

  2. Different neuroinflammatory profile in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia is linked to the clinical phase

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2018-09-17 Biomarkers

    Our data indicate that neuroinflammation is linked to the symptomatic phase of ALS/FTD and shows a similar pattern in sporadic and genetic cases.

  3. The Clinical Use of Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis: The Italian Selfie

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    Although the use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid β1-42 (Aβ42), tau (T-tau), and phosphorylated tau (p-tau181) gives added diagnostic and prognostic values, the diffusion is still limited in clinical practice and only a restricted number of patients receive an integrated clinico-biological diagnosis.
