  1. Peripheral innate immunophenotype in neurodegenerative disease: blood-based profiles and links to survival

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2024-10-29 Biomarkers

    The innate immune system plays an integral role in the progression of many neurodegenerative diseases.

  2. A peripheral signature of Alzheimer's disease featuring microbiota-gut-brain axis markers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-05-31 Biomarkers

    This study tests the hypothesis that GM and mediators of the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) are associated with the amyloid cascade in sporadic AD.

  3. Potential association of bone mineral density loss with cognitive impairment and central and peripheral amyloid-β changes: a cross-sectional study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. BMC musculoskeletal disorders 2022-06-30 Biomarkers

    Our findings suggest a relationship between bone health and cognitive health.

  4. Central and peripheral markers of neurodegeneration and monocyte activation in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neurovirology 2015-03-17 Biomarkers

    HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) affect up to 50 % of HIV-infected adults, independently predict HIV morbidity/mortality, and are associated with neuronal damage and monocyte activation.

  5. Platelet immunoglobulin and amyloid precursor protein as potential peripheral biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease: findings from a pilot study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Age and ageing 2012-01-17 Biomarkers

    Since cerebrospinal fluid analysis and molecular neuroimaging are not routinely used in many countries, blood biomarker molecules may be more readily applicable in a routine clinical setting.
