You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. Potentiation of amyloid beta phagocytosis and amelioration of synaptic dysfunction upon FAAH deletion in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neuroinflammation 2021-09-29 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Our findings support the therapeutic potential of modulating, rather than suppressing, neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease.

  2. Deletion of Alzheimer's disease-associated CD33 results in an inflammatory human microglia phenotype

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Glia 2021-02-04 Genetics

    Genome-wide association studies demonstrated that polymorphisms in the CD33/sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 3 gene are associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Conditional genetic deletion of CSF1 receptor in microglia ameliorates the physiopathology of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2021-01-05 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Our results provide new insights on the role of CSF1R in microglia and how it interacts with the TREM2/β-Catenin and IL-34 system to clear Aβ and ameliorates the physiopathology of AD.

  4. Axonal transport rates in vivo are unaffected by tau deletion or overexpression in mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2008-02-01 Biomarkers

    Elevated tau expression has been proposed as a possible basis for impaired axonal transport in Alzheimer's disease.
