  1. Involvement of Lipids in Alzheimer's Disease Pathology and Potential Therapies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in physiology 2020-06-09 Genetics

    Lipids constitute the bulk of the dry mass of the brain and have been associated with healthy function as well as the most common pathological conditions of the brain.

  2. Involvement of the Chemokine Prokineticin-2 (PROK2) in Alzheimer's Disease: From Animal Models to the Human Pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cells 2019-11-13 Biomarkers

    Among mediators of inflammation, chemokines play a pivotal role in the neuroinflammatory process related to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. GWAS for executive function and processing speed suggests involvement of the CADM2 gene

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2015-04-14 Genetics

    To identify common variants contributing to normal variation in two specific domains of cognitive functioning, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of executive functioning and information processing speed in non-demented older adults from the CHARGE (Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology) consortium.

  4. Involvement of oxidative stress in Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 2006-07-01 Genetics

    Genetic and lifestyle-related risk factors for Alzheimer disease (AD) are associated with an increase in oxidative stress, suggesting that oxidative stress is involved at an early stage of the pathologic cascade.
