  1. Diabetic phenotype in mouse and humans reduces the number of microglia around β-amyloid plaques

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2020-11-10 TREM2 and immune genetics

    To evaluate whether the mouse model-derived results translate to human patients, the effects of diabetic phenotype on microglial pathology were assessed in cortical biopsies of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients encompassing β-amyloid pathology.

  2. GSK3β-mediated tau hyperphosphorylation triggers diabetic retinal neurodegeneration by disrupting synaptic and mitochondrial functions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2018-11-22 Brain scans and imaging

    Our study proposes mild retinal tauopathy as a new pathophysiological model for DR and tau as a novel therapeutic target to counter diabetic RGCs neurodegeneration occurring before retinal vasculature abnormalities.

  3. Severe diabetic retinal disease and dementia risk in type 2 diabetes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2014-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Diabetic patients with severe diabetic retinal disease have an increased risk of dementia.

  4. Berberine ameliorate oxidative stress and astrogliosis in the hippocampus of STZ-induced diabetic rats

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2013-10-10 Biomarkers

    Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as stroke, seizures, dementia, and cognitive impairment.
