  1. CHF5074 (CSP-1103) induces microglia alternative activation in plaque-free Tg2576 mice and primary glial cultures exposed to beta-amyloid

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 2014-10-22 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Activation of microglia associated with neuroinflammation and loss of phagocytic activity is considered to play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Biomarkers of glial cell proliferation and differentiation in culture

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Frontiers in bioscience (Scholar edition) 2010-01-01 Biomarkers

    The two major intermediate filament (IF) proteins of astrocytes are vimentin and GFAP.

  3. Amyloid beta-protein (Abeta)1-40 protects neurons from damage induced by Abeta1-42 in culture and in rat brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2003-11-01 Biomarkers

    Previously, we found that amyloid beta-protein (Abeta)1-42 exhibits neurotoxicity, while Abeta1-40 serves as an antioxidant molecule by quenching metal ions and inhibiting metal-mediated oxygen radical generation.
