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. Elevated CSF angiopoietin-2 correlates with blood-brain barrier leakiness and markers of neuronal injury in early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2024-01-05 Biomarkers

    Breakdown of the neurovascular unit is associated with blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakiness contributing to cognitive decline and disease pathology in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Changes of the enteric nervous system in amyloid-β protein precursor transgenic mice correlate with disease progression

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2013-01-01 Biomarkers

    In Alzheimer's disease (AD), fatal neuronal cell loss occurs long before relevant evidence can lead to a reliable diagnosis.

  3. The level of cerebrospinal fluid tau correlates with neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Neuroreport 1997-12-01 Biomarkers

    We measured tau concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples taken during the lifetime of 43 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and correlated these values with neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) scores as well as glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression as a marker of astrocytosis in the brain post-mortem.
