  1. Extracellular vesicles--Their role in the packaging and spread of misfolded proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Seminars in cell & developmental biology 2015-02-20 Tau biomarkers

    Many cell types, including neurons, are known to release small membranous vesicles known as exosomes.

  2. Molecular drivers and cortical spread of lateral entorhinal cortex dysfunction in preclinical Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Nature neuroscience 2013-12-22 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The entorhinal cortex has been implicated in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by changes in the tau protein and in the cleaved fragments of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).
