  1. Application of neurotrophic factor-secreting cells (astrocyte - Like cells) in the in-vitro Alzheimer's disease-like pathology on the human neuroblastoma cells

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Brain research bulletin 2021-04-22 Drug development

    This study investigated physical proximity and paracrine activity of neurotrophic factor-secreting cells (NTF-SCs) on beta-amyloid treated cells.

  2. Loss of function of the mitochondrial peptidase PITRM1 induces proteotoxic stress and Alzheimer's disease-like pathology in human cerebral organoids

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2020-07-07 Genetics

    Mutations in pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1 (PITRM1), a mitochondrial protease involved in mitochondrial precursor processing and degradation, result in a slow-progressing syndrome characterized by cerebellar ataxia, psychotic episodes, and obsessive behavior, as well as cognitive decline.

  3. Hydrogen Sulfide Ameliorates Homocysteine-Induced Alzheimer's Disease-Like Pathology, Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption, and Synaptic Disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2015-05-28 Biomarkers

    Elevated plasma total homocysteine (Hcy) level is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. Inhibition of IL-12/IL-23 signaling reduces Alzheimer's disease-like pathology and cognitive decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Nature medicine 2012-11-25 Tau biomarkers

    The pathology of Alzheimer's disease has an inflammatory component that is characterized by upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, particularly in response to amyloid-β (Aβ).
