You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. Microglial signalling pathway deficits associated with the patient derived R47H TREM2 variants linked to AD indicate inability to activate inflammasome

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Scientific reports 2021-06-25 TREM2 and immune genetics

    The R47H variant of the microglial membrane receptor TREM2 is linked to increased risk of late onset Alzheimer's disease.

  2. Previous studies have implicated common and rare genetic variants as risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).

  3. Insulin and IGF1 signalling pathways in human astrocytes in vitro and in vivo; characterisation, subcellular localisation and modulation of the receptors

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Molecular brain 2015-08-22 Biomarkers

    IIS is functional in astrocytes.

  4. Presenilin-1 mutations downregulate the signalling pathway of the unfolded-protein response

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Nature cell biology 1999-12-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Missense mutations in the human presenilin-1 (PS1) gene, which is found on chromosome 14, cause early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD).
