  1. Molecular mechanisms and biomarkers in neurodegenerative disorders: a comprehensive review

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Molecular biology reports 2025-03-26 Biomarkers

    Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington's disease (HD), are significant global health challenges, owing to their profound impact on cognitive, motor, and behavioral functions.

  2. Molecular mechanisms of signaling via the docosanoid neuroprotectin D1 for cellular homeostasis and neuroprotection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 2017-06-14 Brain scans and imaging

    Docosahexaenoic acid, enriched in the brain and retina, generates docosanoids in response to disruptions of cellular homeostasis.

  3. Screening of biochemical and molecular mechanisms of secondary injury and repair in the brain after experimental blast-induced traumatic brain injury in rats

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurotrauma 2013-06-05 Biomarkers

    Ascorbate, LMWT, and protein thiols were reduced at 2 and 24 h; by 24 h, HNE was increased.

  4. Preventive and therapeutic types of environmental enrichment counteract beta amyloid pathology by different molecular mechanisms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2011-03-22 Biomarkers

    Combined preventive and therapeutic physical/cognitive stimulation starting before disease onset and continuing over its progression reduce Alzheimer-related pathology in transgenic mice.

  5. Molecular mechanisms of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal and acrolein toxicity: nucleophilic targets and adduct formation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Chemical research in toxicology 2009-09-01 Genetics

    Acrolein and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) are byproducts of lipid peroxidation and are thought to play central roles in various traumatic injuries and disease states that involve cellular oxidative stress, for example, spinal cord trauma, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease.

  6. Contribution of inflammatory processes to Alzheimer's disease: molecular mechanisms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. International journal of developmental neuroscience : the official journal of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience 2006-02-10 Risk genes beyond APOE

    There is compelling evidence that Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid-beta (Abeta) deposition is associated with a local inflammatory response, which is initiated by the activation of microglia and the recruitment of astrocytes.
