  1. Tau in the Pathophysiology of Parkinson's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN 2021-01-18 Genetics

    The pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) are the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy bodies (LBs) in remaining neurons.

  2. Longitudinal Cognitive and Biomarker Measurements Support a Unidirectional Pathway in Alzheimer's Disease Pathophysiology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Biological psychiatry 2020-07-12 Brain scans and imaging

    These findings define a sequence of pathological events in Alzheimer's disease that support a current model of Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis in which Aβ appears early, followed by deposition of abnormal tau aggregates and subsequent neurodegeneration.

  3. Alzheimer's Disease: A Review from the Pathophysiology to Diagnosis, New Perspectives for Pharmacological Treatment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Current medicinal chemistry 2018-01-01 Tau biomarkers

    Dementia is characterized by the impairment of cognition and behavior of people over 65 years.

  4. Epigenetic regulation in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Progress in neurobiology 2010-01-25 Genetics

    With the aging of the population, the growing incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) increases the burden on individuals and society as a whole.
