Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the early responses to Aβ amyloidosis is recruitment of microglia to areas of new plaque.

  2. Expression of somatostatin receptor subtypes (SSTR1-5) in Alzheimer's disease brain: an immunohistochemical analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 2005-01-01 Biomarkers

    Somatostatin, widely distributed in human cortical brain regions, acts through specific high affinity somatostatin receptors (SSTR1-5) to exert profound effects on motor, sensory, behavioral, cognitive and autonomic functions.

  3. A double-labeling immunohistochemical study of tau exon 10 in Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and Pick's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2000-09-01 Drug development

    Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), one of the histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and Pick bodies in Pick's disease (PiD) are composed of microtubule-associated protein tau, which is the product of alternative splicing of a gene on chromosome 17.

  4. Tau pathology in diffuse neurofibrillary tangles with calcification (DNTC): biochemical and immunohistochemical investigation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroreport 2000-08-01 Drug development

    Diffuse neurofibrillary tangles with calcification (DNTC) represents a primary and sporadic presenile dementia that is characterized by temporal or fronto-temporal atrophy with diffuse neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), neuropil threads and Fahr-type calcification without senile plaques.

  5. Immunohistochemical examination of phosphorylated tau in granulovacuolar degeneration granules

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Psychiatry and clinical neurosciences 1996-06-01 Drug development

    Granulovacuolar degeneration (GVD) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) are neuropathological features in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
