  1. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neuronal biomarkers across the spectrum of HIV infection: hierarchy of injury and detection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. PloS one 2014-12-26 Biomarkers

    The character of central nervous system (CNS) HIV infection and its effects on neuronal integrity vary with evolving systemic infection.

  2. Screening of biochemical and molecular mechanisms of secondary injury and repair in the brain after experimental blast-induced traumatic brain injury in rats

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurotrauma 2013-06-05 Biomarkers

    Ascorbate, LMWT, and protein thiols were reduced at 2 and 24 h; by 24 h, HNE was increased.

  3. Microvascular injury and blood-brain barrier leakage in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2006-06-16 Genetics

    Thinning and discontinuities within the vascular basement membrane (VBM) are associated with leakage of the plasma protein prothrombin across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. Secreted forms of beta-amyloid precursor protein protect hippocampal neurons against amyloid beta-peptide-induced oxidative injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 1994-07-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Alternative processing of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta APP) can result in liberation of either secreted forms of beta APP (APPSs), which may play roles in neuronal plasticity and survival, or amyloid beta-peptide (A beta), which can be neurotoxic.

  5. Oxidants and the central nervous system: some fundamental questions. Is oxidant damage relevant to Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, traumatic injury or stroke?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Acta neurologica Scandinavica. Supplementum 1989-01-01 Tau biomarkers
