    The plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio measured using the HISCL series achieved high accuracy in predicting amyloid PET status.

  2. This nanostructured conductive interface favors penetration of water-soluble biomolecules and catalyzes a redox reaction, providing limits of detection (LOD) of 6.63 pg/mL for Aβ 40 and 3.74 pg/mL for Aβ 42 .

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2015-01-01 Biomarkers

    Recent genetic studies suggest a central role for innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, wherein microglia orchestrate neuroinflammation.

  4. Highly pathogenic Alzheimer's disease presenilin 1 P117R mutation causes a specific increase in p53 and p21 protein levels and cell cycle dysregulation in human lymphocytes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2012-01-01 Biomarkers

    Cell cycle (CC) reentry in neurons precedes the formation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  5. A novel presenilin-1 (PS1) mutation (P117S) in an American pedigree is described.

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