  1. Alzheimer's Aβ42 and Aβ40 form mixed oligomers with direct molecular interactions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Biochemical and biophysical research communications 2020-12-01 Biomarkers

    Formation of Aβ oligomers and fibrils plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

  2. CSF biomarkers of neuroinflammation in distinct forms and subtypes of neurodegenerative dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 51 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2019-12-31 Biomarkers

    NDs share a CSF profile characterized by increased levels of CSF CHIT1, YKL-40, and GFAP, which likely reflects a common neuroinflammatory response to protein misfolding and aggregation.

  3. Neuroblastoma cell lines such as SH-SY5Y are the most frequently utilized models in neurodegenerative research, and their use has advanced the understanding of the pathology of neurodegeneration over the past few decades.

  4. Comparison of neurotoxicity of different aggregated forms of Aβ40, Aβ42 and Aβ43 in cell cultures

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Journal of peptide science : an official publication of the European Peptide Society 2017-02-16 Biomarkers

    The abnormal deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the brain is the main neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  5. The coexistence of an equal amount of Alzheimer's amyloid-β 40 and 42 forms structurally stable and toxic oligomers through a distinct pathway

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The FEBS journal 2014-05-06 Biomarkers

    Fibrillar amyloid-β (Aβ) is the major constituent of senile plaques in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  6. Alternative processing of γ-secretase substrates in common forms of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease: evidence for γ-secretase dysfunction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2011-06-01 Biomarkers

    These results suggest that some SAD may involve alternative processing of multiple γ-secretase substrates, raising the possibility that the molecular pathogenesis of SAD might involve γ-secretase dysfunction.
