  1. Comparison of CSF and serum neurofilament light and heavy chain as differential diagnostic biomarkers for ALS

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2021-08-20 Biomarkers

    Our results demonstrate that CSF NfL and NfH as well as serum NfL are equally suited for the differential diagnosis of ALS, whereas serum NfH appears to be slightly less potent.

  2. The APOE ε4 exerts differential effects on familial and other subtypes of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2020-09-03 TREM2 and immune genetics

    APOE ε4 positive genotype may cause familial aggregation, and the investigation of multiple interventions targeting APOE pathological function to reduce the risk for this disease warrants attention.

  3. Differential levels of p75NTR ectodomain in CSF and blood in patients with Alzheimer's disease: a novel diagnostic marker

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2015-10-06 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the primary cause of dementia in the elderly.

  4. Imaging brain amyloid deposition using grating-based differential phase contrast tomography

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. NeuroImage 2012-03-16 Treatments

    One of the core pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain.

  5. HIV-1-infected opiate abusers often exhibit an accelerated form of HIV-1-associated dementia and enhanced neurological dysfunction.
