  1. Plasma soluble TREM2 is associated with white matter lesions independent of amyloid and tau

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2021-12-01 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Cerebral small vessel disease is one of the most common causes of cognitive decline and stroke.

  2. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of white matter lesions - cross-sectional results from the LADIS study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. European journal of neurology 2009-10-21 Biomarkers

    The association of increased CSF-NFL levels with increasing severity of WMLs in non-demented subjects suggests that NFL is a marker for axonal damage in response to small vessel disease in the brain.

  3. AD with subcortical white matter lesions and vascular dementia: CSF markers for differential diagnosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of the neurological sciences 2005-10-01 Biomarkers

    We investigated whether the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers beta-amyloid 1-42 (Abeta1-42), total tau (t-tau) protein and tau protein phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181) could discriminate Alzheimer's disease (AD) from vascular dementia (VD) patients.

  4. 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.

  5. Regressive changes of astroglia in white matter lesions in cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 1997-08-01 Biomarkers

    The pathogenesis of white matter lesions, which are frequently found in ischemic cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease, remains unclear.
