  1. Sensitive label-free detection of the biomarker phosphorylated tau-217 protein in Alzheimer's disease using a graphene-based solution-gated field effect transistor

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Biosensors & bioelectronics 2023-03-11 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is generally diagnosed using advanced imaging, but recent research suggests early screening using biomarkers in peripheral blood is feasible; among them, plasma tau proteins phosphorylated at threonine 231, threonine 181, and threonine 217 (p-tau217) are potential targets.

  2. Development of a biosensor for phosphorylated Tau 181 protein detection in Early-Stage Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Bioelectrochemistry (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2022-01-14 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly, and there are still no reliable methods for its early detection.

  3. Protein signature in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of Alzheimer's disease patients: The case of apolipoprotein A-1 proteoforms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. PloS one 2017-06-19 Biomarkers

    In the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) total tau (T-tau), tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau181), and the 42 amino acid isoform of alpha β-amyloid (Aβ) are well established surrogate CSF markers.

  4. Diagnostic value of CSF protein profile in a Portuguese population of sCJD patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neurology 2009-05-06 Biomarkers

    The clinical diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is difficult, and reliable markers are highly desired.

  5. Proteomic identification of proteins oxidized by Abeta(1-42) in synaptosomes: implications for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 2005-04-15 Biomarkers

    Protein oxidation has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can lead to loss of protein function, abnormal protein turnover, interference with cell cycle, imbalance of cellular redox potential, and eventually cell death.

  6. Analysis of glial acidic fibrillary protein in the human entorhinal cortex during aging and in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proteomics 2003-08-01 Biomarkers

    Glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP, is a major intermediate filament protein of glial cells and major cytoskeletal structure in astrocytes.

  7. Decreased levels of synaptosomal associated protein 25 in the brain of patients with Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Electrophoresis 1999-04-01 Biomarkers

    Synaptosomal associated protein 25 kDa (snap-25) is a widely distributed membrane-associated protein in the brain, mainly localized in nerve terminals.

  8. Increased immunoreactivity for Jun- and Fos-related proteins in Alzheimer's disease: association with pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 1994-02-01 Biomarkers

    The protein products of the Jun and Fos immediate early gene (IEG) families are cooperative transcriptional regulatory factors implicated in regulating the expression of many genes.
