    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in behavioral neuroscience 2022-05-11 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Epidemiological studies have found that heavy alcohol use is associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), with frequent drinking earlier in adulthood increasing risk.

  2. Apoptosis of astrocytes with enhanced lysosomal activity and oligodendrocytes in white matter lesions in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neuropathology and applied neurobiology 2002-06-01 Biomarkers

    Glial changes are intimately associated with the white matter lesions, and regressive changes in astrocytes and loss of oligodendroglial cells have been reported.
