  1. Developmental Pb exposure increases AD risk via altered intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in hiPSC-derived cortical neurons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 2023-07-07 Biomarkers

    Exposure to environmental chemicals such as lead (Pb) during vulnerable developmental periods can result in adverse health outcomes later in life.

  2. A Novel PSEN1 M139L Mutation Found in a Chinese Pedigree with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Increases Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2019-01-01 Biomarkers

    The novel PSEN1 M139L mutation found in familial AD increases the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio significantly.

  3. Our results support the use of the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in addition to the usual CSF AD biomarkers for patients with ambiguous biological profiles.

  4. Chronic exposure to aluminum in drinking water increases inflammatory parameters selectively in the brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuroscience research 2004-02-01 Biomarkers

    A link between aluminum (Al) exposure and age-related neurological disorders has long been proposed.

  5. Longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid tau load increases in mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2002-11-01 Biomarkers

    Cross-sectional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of tau and amyloid (A) beta (beta) are of diagnostic importance for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

  6. Transgenic expression of TNF by astrocytes increases mechanical allodynia in a mouse neuropathy model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroreport 2000-02-01 Biomarkers

    It has been hypothesized that increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines mediate a variety of central nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral ischemia, spinal cord injury, HIV encephalopathy and chronic pain.
