  1. Evidence for reduced neurogenesis in the aging human hippocampus despite stable stem cell markers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Aging cell 2017-08-01 Biomarkers

    Reduced neurogenesis in the aging mammalian hippocampus has been linked to cognitive deficits and increased risk of dementia.

  2. Neural stem cell transplantation decreases neuroinflammation in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2015-12-28 Biomarkers

    Inflammatory processes are considered to play an important role in the progression of neurodegenerative changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Mesenchymal Stem Cells Increase Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Neuronal Differentiation by Enhancing the Wnt Signaling Pathway in an Alzheimer's Disease Model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Cell transplantation 2014-03-07 Biomarkers

    Neurogenesis in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus may act as an endogenous repair mechanism in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the Wnt signaling pathway has been suggested to closely modulate neurogenesis in amyloid-β (Aβ)-related AD models.

  4. Decreased circulating CD34+ stem cells in early Alzheimer's disease: Evidence for a deficient hematopoietic brain support?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2006-10-10 Biomarkers

    Hematopoietic stem cells contribute to mammalian brain tissue regeneration by transdifferentiation processes.
