  1. Neurotoxic astrocytes express the d-serine synthesizing enzyme, serine racemase, in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2019-06-15 Treatments

    Although β-amyloid plaques are a well-recognized hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology, no drugs reducing amyloid burden have shown efficacy in clinical trials, suggesting that once AD symptoms emerge, disease progression becomes independent of Aβ production.

  2. Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells treated with okadaic acid express phosphorylated high molecular weight tau-immunoreactive protein species

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Journal of neuroscience methods 2018-09-29 Drug development

    Our data provide a novel characterization of an OA-based cell culture model in which OA induces the appearance of HMW-TIPs.

  3. Astrocytes in Alzheimer's disease gray matter express alpha 1-antichymotrypsin mRNA

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of pathology 1989-11-01 Biomarkers

    The serine protease inhibitor alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) has been shown to be tightly associated with the amyloid found in plaque cores and blood vessels in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
