  1. Plasma Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Is Associated with 18F-SMBT-1 PET: Two Putative Astrocyte Reactivity Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2023-01-01 Biomarkers

    There is an association between plasma GFAP and regional 18F-SMBT-1 PET, and this association appears to be dependent on brain Aβ load.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Brain structure & function 2017-05-06 Brain scans and imaging

    Melatonin, through its different receptors, has pleiotropic functions in mammalian brain.

  3. Analysis of the Putative Role of CR1 in Alzheimer's Disease: Genetic Association, Expression and Function

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PloS one 2016-02-25 Genetics

    Chronic activation of the complement system and induced inflammation are associated with neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
