  1. Plasma proteomics links brain and immune system aging with healthspan and longevity

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Nature medicine 2025-07-09 Genetics

    Plasma proteins derived from specific organs can estimate organ age and mortality, but their sensitivity to environmental factors and their robustness in forecasting onset of organ diseases and mortality remain unclear.

  2. The role of the immune system in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Ageing research reviews 2021-07-14 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder where the accumulation of amyloid plaques and the formation of tau tangles are the prominent pathological hallmarks.

  3. Identification of genetic risk factors in the Chinese population implicates a role of immune system in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2018-02-05 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of mortality among the elderly.

  4. The role of the immune system in neurodegenerative disorders: Adaptive or maladaptive?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 2014-09-08 Genetics

    Neurodegenerative diseases share common features, including catastrophic neuronal loss that leads to cognitive or motor dysfunction.
