You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. High-affinity antibodies specific to the core region of the tau protein exhibit diagnostic and therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-10-02 Biomarkers

    This article introduces an alternative immunodiagnostic approach based on the concept of a "tauosome" - the diverse set of tau fragments present within biological fluids.

  2. Human Alzheimer's disease reactive astrocytes exhibit a loss of homeostastic gene expression

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica communications 2023-08-02 Biomarkers

    Astrocytes are one of the brain's major cell types and are responsible for maintaining neuronal homeostasis via regulating the extracellular environment, providing metabolic support, and modulating synaptic activity.

  3. α-Synuclein BAC transgenic mice exhibit RBD-like behaviour and hyposmia: a prodromal Parkinson's disease model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2020-01-01 Genetics

    As subjects with α-synuclein gene (SNCA) multiplication as well as point mutations develop familial Parkinson's disease and a genome-wide association study in Parkinson's disease has identified SNCA as a risk gene for Parkinson's disease, the increased expression of α-synuclein is closely associated with the aetiology of Parkinson's disease.

  4. Mice lacking both presenilin genes exhibit early embryonic patterning defects

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Genes & development 1999-11-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Genetic studies in worms, flies, and humans have implicated the presenilins in the regulation of the Notch signaling pathway and in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease.
