  1. SSRIs reduce plasma tau and restore dorsal raphe metabolism in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-02-01 Biomarkers

    Long-term SSRI use may reduce the pathological presentation of AD but has variable effects on cognitive performance.

  2. Aquaporin-4 reduces neuropathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease by remodeling peri-plaque astrocyte structure

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica communications 2019-05-08 Biomarkers

    Redistribution of the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) away from astrocyte endfeet and into parenchymal processes is a striking histological feature in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurological conditions with prominent astrogliosis.

  3. S100B Inhibitor Pentamidine Attenuates Reactive Gliosis and Reduces Neuronal Loss in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. BioMed research international 2015-07-29 Biomarkers

    Among the different signaling molecules released during reactive gliosis occurring in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the astrocyte-derived S100B protein plays a key role in neuroinflammation, one of the hallmarks of the disease.

  4. PPARgamma agonist curcumin reduces the amyloid-beta-stimulated inflammatory responses in primary astrocytes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2010-01-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder.

  5. Chronic nicotine treatment reduces beta-amyloidosis in the brain of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (APPsw)

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2002-05-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease neuropathology is characterised by beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.
