  1. Tau seeds from Alzheimer's disease brains trigger tau spread in macaques while oligomeric-Aβ mediates pathology maturation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-12-26 Biomarkers

    Oligomeric-Aβ mediates the maturation of tau pathology and its neuronal toxicity in macaques but not its initial spreading.

  2. Maturation of autophagic vacuoles in Mammalian cells

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Autophagy 2005-04-28 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The autophagic process was first described in mammalian cells several decades ago.

  3. Maturation and endosomal targeting of beta-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme. The Alzheimer's disease beta-secretase

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 2000-10-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The amyloidogenic Abeta peptide is liberated from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by two proteolytic activities, beta-secretase and gamma-secretase.
