  1. Levels of Soluble Interleukin 6 Receptor and Asp358Ala Are Associated With Cognitive Performance and Alzheimer Disease Biomarkers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Neurology(R) neuroimmunology & neuroinflammation 2023-02-21 Biomarkers

    These data suggest that IL6 trans-signaling and the inheritance of the IL6R Ala 358 variant are related to reduced cognition and greater levels of biomarkers for AD disease pathology.

  2. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the early responses to Aβ amyloidosis is recruitment of microglia to areas of new plaque.

  3. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker losartan prevents and rescues cerebrovascular, neuropathological and cognitive deficits in an Alzheimer's disease model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2014-05-05 Biomarkers

    Angiotensin II (AngII) receptor blockers that bind selectively AngII type 1 (AT1) receptors may protect from Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. Activation of the CB2 receptor system reverses amyloid-induced memory deficiency

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2012-07-12 Biomarkers

    Cannabinoid type 2 (CB(2)) agonists are neuroprotective and appear to play modulatory roles in neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer's disease.

  5. Astrocytic adenosine A2A receptors control the amyloid-β peptide-induced decrease of glutamate uptake

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2012-01-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive cognitive impairment tightly correlated with the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides (mainly Aβ(1-42)).

  6. Expression of somatostatin receptor subtypes (SSTR1-5) in Alzheimer's disease brain: an immunohistochemical analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 2005-01-01 Biomarkers

    Somatostatin, widely distributed in human cortical brain regions, acts through specific high affinity somatostatin receptors (SSTR1-5) to exert profound effects on motor, sensory, behavioral, cognitive and autonomic functions.
