  1. Tau-Reactive Endogenous Antibodies: Origin, Functionality, and Implications for the Pathophysiology of Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Journal of immunology research 2019-08-06 Drug development

    In Alzheimer's disease (AD), tau pathology manifested by the accumulation of intraneuronal tangles and soluble toxic oligomers emerges as a promising therapeutic target.

  2. On the origin of proteins in human drusen: The meet, greet and stick hypothesis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Progress in retinal and eye research 2018-12-17 Brain scans and imaging

    Retinal drusen formation is not only a clinical hallmark for the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) but also for other disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and renal diseases.

  3. DNA hypomethylation in the origin and pathogenesis of human diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS 2009-03-27 Genetics

    The pathogenesis of any given human disease is a complex multifactorial process characterized by many biologically significant and interdependent alterations.

  4. Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like pathology in aged monkeys after infantile exposure to environmental metal lead (Pb): evidence for a developmental origin and environmental link for AD

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2008-01-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The sporadic nature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) argues for an environmental link that may drive AD pathogenesis; however, the triggering factors and the period of their action are unknown.

  5. New immunocytochemical evidence for a neuronal/oligodendroglial origin for corpora amylacea

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuropathology and applied neurobiology 1994-02-01 Drug development

    Studies employing a bank of antisera applied to sections of LR White embedded AD and normal ageing brain tissue, may throw new light on the derivation of CA. Conspicuous levels of immunoreactivity were found in the CA of both tissues with markers for oligodendrocytic proteins such as antisera against myelin basic proteolipid protein, galactocerebroside and myelin/oligodendrocyte glycoprotein.
