  1. Longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid measurements show glial hypo- and hyperactivation in predementia Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Journal of neuroinflammation 2023-12-13 Biomarkers

    Cross-sectionally, CSF sTREM2, YKL-40, clusterin and fractalkine were higher only in groups with tau pathology, independent of amyloidosis (p < 0.001, A+/T+ or N+ and A-/T+ or N+, compared to A-/T-/N-).

  2. Human microglia show unique transcriptional changes in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Nature aging 2023-05-29 Genetics

    Microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression and are potential therapeutic targets.

  3. Immune cells lacking Y chromosome show dysregulation of autosomal gene expression

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS 2021-04-10 Genetics

    Epidemiological investigations show that mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) in leukocytes is associated with earlier mortality and morbidity from many diseases in men.

  4. Human DNA methylomes of neurodegenerative diseases show common epigenomic patterns

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2016-01-19 Genetics

    Different neurodegenerative disorders often show similar lesions, such as the presence of amyloid plaques, TAU-neurotangles and synuclein inclusions.

  5. 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.

  6. For the purpose of studying the potential neurobehavioral effects of different human apolipoprotein E (apoE) isoforms produced within the brain, transgenic (TG) mice were generated in which human apoE3 or apoE4 isoforms were under control of an astrocyte-specific, glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter and these TG mice were bred back to apoE knockout (KO) mice.
