  1. Different inflammatory signatures based on CSF biomarkers relate to preserved or diminished brain structure and cognition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2024-01-12 Biomarkers

    Neuroinflammation is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and both positive and negative associations of individual inflammation-related markers with brain structure and cognitive function have been described.

  2. A peripheral signature of Alzheimer's disease featuring microbiota-gut-brain axis markers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-05-31 Biomarkers

    This study tests the hypothesis that GM and mediators of the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) are associated with the amyloid cascade in sporadic AD.

  3. The CSF neurofilament light signature in rapidly progressive neurodegenerative dementias

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2018-01-11 Biomarkers

    The present data indicate that CSF NfL and t-tau levels reflect distinct pathophysiological mechanisms of neurodegeneration and support the clinical use of NfL as a fast screening biomarker for the differential diagnosis of atypical/rapidly progressive NDs.

  4. Protein signature in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of Alzheimer's disease patients: The case of apolipoprotein A-1 proteoforms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. PloS one 2017-06-19 Biomarkers

    In the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) total tau (T-tau), tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau181), and the 42 amino acid isoform of alpha β-amyloid (Aβ) are well established surrogate CSF markers.
