  1. Proteomic changes in Alzheimer's disease associated with progressive Aβ plaque and tau tangle pathologies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Nature neuroscience 2024-08-26 Genetics

    Proteomics can shed light on the dynamic and multifaceted alterations in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Plasma biomarkers of amyloid, tau, axonal, and neuroinflammation pathologies in dementia with Lewy bodies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-07-03 Biomarkers

    Amyloid, tau, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation plasma biomarkers are modified in DLB, albeit with moderate diagnosis performance.

  3. White matter damage due to vascular, tau, and TDP-43 pathologies and its relevance to cognition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica communications 2022-02-05 Brain scans and imaging

    Multi-compartment modelling of white matter microstructure using Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) can provide information on white matter health through neurite density index and free water measures.

  4. Interaction of the amyloid imaging tracer FDDNP with hallmark Alzheimer's disease pathologies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2009-02-13 Brain scans and imaging

    The distinctive cortical uptake of the tracer (18)F-FDDNP (2-(1-{6-[(2-fluoroethyl(methyl)amino]-2-naphthyl}ethylidene)malononitrile) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is believed to be because of its binding to both neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and highly fibrillar senile plaques.
