  1. GSK3β-mediated tau hyperphosphorylation triggers diabetic retinal neurodegeneration by disrupting synaptic and mitochondrial functions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2018-11-22 Brain scans and imaging

    Our study proposes mild retinal tauopathy as a new pathophysiological model for DR and tau as a novel therapeutic target to counter diabetic RGCs neurodegeneration occurring before retinal vasculature abnormalities.

  2. Retinal neurodegeneration on optical coherence tomography and cerebral atrophy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2014-10-19 Brain scans and imaging

    Neurodegeneration in dementia is mainly evaluated by assessing cerebral atrophy, while retinal neurodegeneration can be quantified in vivo using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

  3. Early retinal neurodegeneration and impaired Ran-mediated nuclear import of TDP-43 in progranulin-deficient FTLD

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The Journal of experimental medicine 2014-08-25 Brain scans and imaging

    Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the most common cause of dementia in people under 60 yr of age and is pathologically associated with mislocalization of TAR DNA/RNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in approximately half of cases (FLTD-TDP).

  4. Alzheimer's disease and retinal neurodegeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Current Alzheimer research 2010-02-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia in the world.
