Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. TREM2 gene expression associations with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology are region-specific: implications for cortical versus subcortical microglia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2023-03-25 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Previous post-mortem assessments of TREM2 expression and its association with brain pathologies have been limited by sample size.

  2. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) are intertwined by mixed dementia (MD) harboring varying degrees of AD pathology in combination with cerebrovascular disease.

  3. AD with subcortical white matter lesions and vascular dementia: CSF markers for differential diagnosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of the neurological sciences 2005-10-01 Biomarkers

    We investigated whether the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers beta-amyloid 1-42 (Abeta1-42), total tau (t-tau) protein and tau protein phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181) could discriminate Alzheimer's disease (AD) from vascular dementia (VD) patients.
