  1. Ultrasound-mediated augmented exosome release from astrocytes alleviates amyloid-β-induced neurotoxicity

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Theranostics 2021-02-25 Genetics

    We showed that ultrasound resulted in an almost 5-fold increase in the exosome release from human astrocytes.

  2. Profiling of Serum Exosome MiRNA Reveals the Potential of a MiRNA Panel as Diagnostic Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2021-02-24 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the older adults.

  3. Role of Exosomes in Central Nervous System Diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in molecular neuroscience 2019-10-04 Tau biomarkers

    There are many types of intercellular communication, and extracellular vesicles are one of the important forms of this.

  4. Concordance between the assessment of Aβ42, T-tau, and P-T181-tau in peripheral blood neuronal-derived exosomes and cerebrospinal fluid

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 49 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2019-08-01 Tau biomarkers

    This study verified the agreement between CSF and blood exosomal biomarkers and confirmed that exosomal Aβ42, T-tau, and P-T181-tau have the same capacity as those in CSF for the diagnosis of AD and aMCI.

  5. Potential Effects of MSC-Derived Exosomes in Neuroplasticity in Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in cellular neuroscience 2018-09-24 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia affecting regions of the central nervous system that exhibit synaptic plasticity and are involved in higher brain functions such as learning and memory.

  6. CNS tau efflux via exosomes is likely increased in Parkinson's disease but not in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2016-05-24 Tau biomarkers

    Tau is readily transported from the brain to the blood.

  7. Exosomes: vehicles for the transfer of toxic proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Frontiers in physiology 2012-05-03 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Exosomes are small membranous vesicles secreted by a number of cell types including neurons and can be isolated from conditioned cell media or bodily fluids such as urine and plasma.
