    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2009-12-04 Genetics

    Humans have evolved much longer lifespans than the great apes, which rarely exceed 50 years.

  2. Evolution of Abeta42 and Abeta40 levels and Abeta42/Abeta40 ratio in plasma during progression of Alzheimer's disease: a multicenter assessment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. The journal of nutrition, health & aging 2009-03-01 Biomarkers

    A highly robust assay for repeatedly measuring Abeta forms in plasma such as INNO-BIA plasma Abeta forms might be a useful tool in a future risk assessment of AD.

  3. Interleukin-1 expression in different plaque types in Alzheimer's disease: significance in plaque evolution

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 1995-03-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The histologically apparent polymorphism of plaques containing beta-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease is thought to represent different stages in plaque evolution. beta-amyloid-immunopositive plaques were classified according to the pattern of beta-amyloid distribution (diffuse vs dense-core) and the presence or absence of dystrophic beta-amyloid precursor protein-immunopositive (beta-APP+) neurites (neuritic vs non-neuritic).
