  1. Plasma phosphorylated-tau217 is increased in Niemann-Pick disease type C

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Brain communications 2024-10-25 Biomarkers

    Niemann-Pick disease type C and Alzheimer's disease are distinct neurodegenerative disorders that share the presence of neurofibrillary tangle pathology.

  2. Myeloperoxidase-immunoreactive cells are significantly increased in brain areas affected by neurodegeneration in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cell and tissue research 2017-05-02 Biomarkers

    Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a key enzyme in inflammatory and degenerative processes, although conflicting reports have been presented concerning its expression in the brain.

  3. Increased Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels of Ubiquitin Carboxyl-Terminal Hydrolase L1 in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders extra 2016-05-01 Biomarkers

    Our main findings support that the UPS pathway may be impaired in AD, and UCH-L1 may serve as an additional CSF biomarker for AD.

  4. Increased acetyl and total histone levels in post-mortem Alzheimer's disease brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2014-12-05 Biomarkers

    Histone acetylation is an epigenetic modification that plays a critical role in chromatin remodelling and transcriptional regulation.

  5. Increased cerebrospinal fluid calpain activity and microparticle levels in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2014-09-04 Biomarkers

    This is the first study showing increased calpain activity and microparticle levels in CSF of AD patients.

  6. Reduced beta-amyloid production and increased inflammatory responses in presenilin conditional knock-out mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 2004-09-01 Biomarkers

    Mutations in presenilins (PS) 1 and 2 are the major cause of familial Alzheimer's disease.

  7. Neurofilament protein levels in CSF are increased in dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurology 1999-03-01 Biomarkers

    The neurofilament is the major cytoskeletal structure of myelinated axons.

  8. Increased immunoreactivity for Jun- and Fos-related proteins in Alzheimer's disease: association with pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 1994-02-01 Biomarkers

    The protein products of the Jun and Fos immediate early gene (IEG) families are cooperative transcriptional regulatory factors implicated in regulating the expression of many genes.
