  1. Peripheral immune cell imbalance is associated with cortical beta-amyloid deposition and longitudinal cognitive decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Scientific reports 2023-05-31 Brain scans and imaging

    Neuroinflammation is believed to be a key process in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis.

  2. Single-Cell RNA Sequencing of Peripheral Blood Reveals Immune Cell Signatures in Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in immunology 2021-08-09 Genetics

    The peripheral immune system is thought to affect the pathology of the central nervous system in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Immune cells lacking Y chromosome show dysregulation of autosomal gene expression

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS 2021-04-10 Genetics

    Epidemiological investigations show that mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) in leukocytes is associated with earlier mortality and morbidity from many diseases in men.

  4. Characterization of Blood Surrogate Immune-Methylation Biomarkers for Immune Cell Infiltration in Chronic Inflammaging Disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in genetics 2019-11-27 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) and atherosclerosis are both chronic age- and inflammation-dependent diseases.

  5. Alzheimer's Disease Variants with the Genome-Wide Significance are Significantly Enriched in Immune Pathways and Active in Immune Cells

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2016-01-09 Genetics

    The existing large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) datasets provide strong support for investigating the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by applying multiple methods of pathway analysis.
