  1. Transitioning from cerebrospinal fluid to blood tests to facilitate diagnosis and disease monitoring in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of internal medicine 2021-06-26 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly prevalent worldwide, and disease-modifying treatments may soon be at hand; hence, now, more than ever, there is a need to develop techniques that allow earlier and more secure diagnosis.

  2. ApoE facilitates the microglial response to amyloid plaque pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. The Journal of experimental medicine 2018-02-26 Genetics

    One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the presence of extracellular diffuse and fibrillar plaques predominantly consisting of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide.

  3. Blood-Based Oligomeric and Other Protein Variant Biomarkers to Facilitate Pre-Symptomatic Diagnosis and Staging of Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    Oligomeric forms of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau, and TDP-43 play important roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and therefore are promising biomarkers.

  4. Apolipoprotein E facilitates neuritic and cerebrovascular plaque formation in an Alzheimer's disease model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2000-06-01 Genetics

    The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is an important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
