  1. Age-related changes in brain extracellular space affect processing of amyloid-β peptides in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2013-01-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease in which aging is not only a major risk factor but a major determinant of onset, course, and pathogenesis.

  2. Alternative processing of γ-secretase substrates in common forms of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease: evidence for γ-secretase dysfunction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2011-06-01 Biomarkers

    These results suggest that some SAD may involve alternative processing of multiple γ-secretase substrates, raising the possibility that the molecular pathogenesis of SAD might involve γ-secretase dysfunction.

  3. Beta-secretase processing of the beta-amyloid precursor protein in transgenic mice is efficient in neurons but inefficient in astrocytes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 1996-12-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the extracellular deposition of beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) in cerebral plaques and evidence is accumulating that amyloid is neurotoxic.
