  1. The Global Neurodegeneration Proteomics Consortium: biomarker and drug target discovery for common neurodegenerative diseases and aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Nature medicine 2025-07-15 Caregiving

    More than 57 million people globally suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, a figure expected to double every 20 years.

  2. Microglia in Alzheimer's Disease: An Unprecedented Opportunity as Prospective Drug Target

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2022-02-12 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an ever more common neurodegenerative disease among the elderly, characterized by recurrent neuroinflammation and amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation in the brain parenchyma.

  3. Identification of novel drug targets for Alzheimer's disease by integrating genetics and proteomes from brain and blood

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2021-08-11 Genetics

    Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have discovered numerous risk genes for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but how these genes confer AD risk is challenging to decipher.

  4. Microglial Drug Targets in AD: Opportunities and Challenges in Drug Discovery and Development

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in pharmacology 2019-08-23 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a large and increasing unmet medical need with no disease-modifying treatment currently available.

  5. Molecular genetics of addiction and related heritable phenotypes: genome-wide association approaches identify "connectivity constellation" and drug target genes with pleiotropic effects

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 2008-10-01 Genetics

    Genome-wide association (GWA) can elucidate molecular genetic bases for human individual differences in complex phenotypes that include vulnerability to addiction.
