  1. Up-regulated Pro-inflammatory MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cellular and molecular neurobiology 2018-01-04 Brain scans and imaging

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) of the brain neocortex and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) of the retina are two complex neurodegenerative disorders, which (i) involve the progressive dysregulation and deterioration of multiple neurobiological signaling pathways, (ii) exhibit the temporal accumulation of pro-inflammatory lesions including the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide-containing senile plaques of AD and the drusen of AMD, and (iii) culminate in an insidious inflammatory neurodegeneration ending, respectively, in neural cell atrophy and death and progressive loss of cognition and central visual function.

  2. Retinal and Circulating miRNAs in Age-Related Macular Degeneration: An In vivo Animal and Human Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in pharmacology 2017-03-30 Brain scans and imaging

    Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among people aged 50 and over.

  3. Common micro RNAs (miRNAs) target complement factor H (CFH) regulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. International journal of biochemistry and molecular biology 2012-03-20 Brain scans and imaging

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are complex and progressive inflammatory degenerations of the human neocortex and retina.
