  1. Predictive Value of Cerebrospinal Fluid Visinin-Like Protein-1 Levels for Alzheimer's Disease Early Detection and Differential Diagnosis in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2016-01-01 Biomarkers

    Visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) recently emerged as a potential biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 plays a dominant role in the chronic inflammation observed in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain pathology (Zurich, Switzerland) 2008-07-10 Brain scans and imaging

    Chronic neuroinflammation correlates with cognitive decline and brain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and cytokines and chemokines mediate the inflammatory response.

  3. Overexpression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1/CCL2 in beta-amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice show accelerated diffuse beta-amyloid deposition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of pathology 2005-05-01 Biomarkers

    Microglia accumulation at the site of amyloid plaques is a strong indication that microglia play a major role in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis.
