  1. The antimicrobial protection hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2018-10-09 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Mounting data link elevated brain microbe levels with AD.

  2. Cellular and molecular events mediated by docosahexaenoic acid-derived neuroprotectin D1 signaling in photoreceptor cell survival and brain protection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and essential fatty acids 2009-06-11 Brain scans and imaging

    Deficiency in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is associated with impaired visual and neurological postnatal development, cognitive decline, macular degeneration, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

  3. Role of human aldo-keto-reductase AKR1B10 in the protection against toxic aldehydes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Chemico-biological interactions 2008-11-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Damage of cell membranes by reactive oxygen species results in the formation of toxic lipid peroxides which may ultimately lead to cell death.

  4. The role of heat shock proteins Hsp70 and Hsp27 in cellular protection of the central nervous system

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. International journal of hyperthermia : the official journal of European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology, North American Hyperthermia Group 2005-08-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved and under physiological conditions act as molecular chaperones and/or have anti-apoptotic activities.

  5. Estrogen and androgen protection of human neurons against intracellular amyloid beta1-42 toxicity through heat shock protein 70

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2004-06-01 Genetics

    Intracellular amyloidbeta peptide (iAbeta1-42) accumulates in the Alzheimer's disease brain before plaque and tangle formation (Gouras et al., 2000) and is extremely toxic to human neurons (Zhang et al., 2002).

  6. Epitope and isotype specificities of antibodies to beta -amyloid peptide for protection against Alzheimer's disease-like neuropathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2003-02-03 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Transgenic PDAPP mice, which express a disease-linked isoform of the human amyloid precursor protein, exhibit CNS pathology that is similar to Alzheimer's disease.
