  1. Matrix metalloproteinase 10 is linked to the risk of progression to dementia of the Alzheimer's type

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2022-07-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease has a long asymptomatic phase that offers a substantial time window for intervention.

  2. Concentrations of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2014-01-01 Biomarkers

    Altered concentrations of two out of three MMPs investigated in this study suggest that this family of biomolecules may play a role in the AD pathophysiology.

  3. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) are intertwined by mixed dementia (MD) harboring varying degrees of AD pathology in combination with cerebrovascular disease.
