  1. Association of microplastics in human cerebrospinal fluid with Alzheimer's disease-related changes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of hazardous materials 2025-05-26 Biomarkers

    To investigate potential associations between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microplastics and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology or cognitive function.

  2. RNA-binding protein ELAVL4/HuD ameliorates Alzheimer's disease-related molecular changes in human iPSC-derived neurons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Progress in neurobiology 2022-07-14 Biomarkers

    The RNA binding protein ELAVL4/HuD regulates the translation and splicing of multiple Alzheimer's disease (AD) candidate genes.

  3. Reactive Astrocytes Contribute to Alzheimer's Disease-Related Neurotoxicity and Synaptotoxicity in a Neuron-Astrocyte Co-culture Assay

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in cellular neuroscience 2022-01-21 Biomarkers

    Pathogenesis of presymptomatic disease stages remains elusive, although studies suggest that the early structural and functional alterations likely occur at neuronal dendritic spines.

  4. Objective subtle cognitive decline and plasma phosphorylated tau181: Early markers of Alzheimer's disease-related declines

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2021-10-14 Biomarkers

    Despite assumptions that cognitive changes invariably follow biomarker changes, early neuropsychological difficulties may emerge before/concurrently with plasma p-tau181 changes.

  5. Identification of age- and disease-related alterations in circulating miRNAs in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Frontiers in cellular neuroscience 2015-02-19 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by the progressive decline of memory and cognition.
