    ⚠ Preprint — not yet peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 16 out of 100. medRxiv (preprint) 2026-09-14 Risk genes beyond APOE

    BackgroundBone marrow megakaryocytes, the primary source of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the blood, secrete BDNF-packed platelets into the bloodstream.

  2. 18F-THK5351 PET Positivity and Longitudinal Changes in Cognitive Function in β-Amyloid-Negative Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Yonsei medical journal 2022-03-01 Inflammation and the immune system

    The results of the present study suggest that increased 18 F-THK5351 uptake might be a useful predictor of poor prognosis among Aβ- aMCI patients, which might be associated with increased neuroinflammation (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02656498).
