  1. Neuronal APOE4 removal protects against tau-mediated gliosis, neurodegeneration and myelin deficits

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Nature aging 2023-02-20 Genetics

    Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. MRI and fluid biomarkers reveal determinants of myelin and axonal loss with aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2023-02-10 Biomarkers

    Plasma biomarkers of neuronal injury and astrogliosis are associated with reduced axonal density and region-specific myelin content.

  3. Multiscale network modeling of oligodendrocytes reveals molecular components of myelin dysregulation in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2017-11-06 Genetics

    This study provides a molecular blueprint of the dysregulation of gene expression networks of OL in AD and identifies key OL- and myelination-related genes and networks that are highly associated with AD.
