  1. The clinical promise of biomarkers of synapse damage or loss in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2020-03-02 Tau biomarkers

    A number of emerging biomarkers are able to measure synapse injury and loss in the brain and may correlate with cognitive function in AD.

  2. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a significant risk factor for development of neurodegenerative disorders such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), and Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD) diseases.

  3. Axonal damage markers in cerebrospinal fluid are increased in ALS

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neurology 2006-03-01 Tau biomarkers

    The authors propose that axonal damage markers in CSF may discriminate between subtypes of ALS and that they could be used as markers for therapeutic trials.

  4. Systemic increase of oxidative nucleic acid damage in Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2002-03-01 Tau biomarkers

    8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) or 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHG), a product of oxidized DNA or RNA, is a good marker of oxidative cellular damage.

  5. Oxidants and the central nervous system: some fundamental questions. Is oxidant damage relevant to Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, traumatic injury or stroke?
