  1. Longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid measurements show glial hypo- and hyperactivation in predementia Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Journal of neuroinflammation 2023-12-13 Biomarkers

    Cross-sectionally, CSF sTREM2, YKL-40, clusterin and fractalkine were higher only in groups with tau pathology, independent of amyloidosis (p < 0.001, A+/T+ or N+ and A-/T+ or N+, compared to A-/T-/N-).

  2. In the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD), hippocampal alterations have been well described in advanced stages of the pathology, when amyloid deposition, inflammation and glial activation occur, but less attention has been directed to studying early brain and behavioral changes.

  3. Analysis of glial acidic fibrillary protein in the human entorhinal cortex during aging and in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proteomics 2003-08-01 Biomarkers

    Glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP, is a major intermediate filament protein of glial cells and major cytoskeletal structure in astrocytes.

  4. Glial reaction in aging and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Microscopy research and technique 1998-10-01 Biomarkers

    It is well-established that glial cells play an important role during injury and neurodegenerative processes in the central nervous system.

  5. Glial reaction in the hippocampal formation is highly correlated with aging in human brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 1997-10-01 Biomarkers

    Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a biochemical marker of astrocytes and glial reaction, was quantified by immunoblotting in different brain areas from 33 non-demented patients with a Mini Mental State Examination score above 26 and aged from 12 to 98 years.
