  1. Classification and deep-learning-based prediction of Alzheimer disease subtypes by using genomic data

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2023-06-29 Biomarkers

    Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the most common multifactorial neurodegenerative disease among elderly people.

  2. Cerebrospinal Fluid YKL-40 and Chitotriosidase Levels in Frontotemporal Dementia Vary by Clinical, Genetic and Pathological Subtype

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders 2020-04-28 Biomarkers

    CSF YKL-40 and chitotriosidase levels are increased in individuals with clinical FTD syndromes, particularly due to AD pathology.

  3. CSF biomarkers of neuroinflammation in distinct forms and subtypes of neurodegenerative dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 51 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2019-12-31 Biomarkers

    NDs share a CSF profile characterized by increased levels of CSF CHIT1, YKL-40, and GFAP, which likely reflects a common neuroinflammatory response to protein misfolding and aggregation.

  4. Cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light chain protein levels in subtypes of frontotemporal dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. BMC neurology 2013-05-29 Biomarkers

    The marked NFL elevation in some but not all FTD cases is likely to reflect the different underlying pathologies.

  5. Expression of somatostatin receptor subtypes (SSTR1-5) in Alzheimer's disease brain: an immunohistochemical analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 2005-01-01 Biomarkers

    Somatostatin, widely distributed in human cortical brain regions, acts through specific high affinity somatostatin receptors (SSTR1-5) to exert profound effects on motor, sensory, behavioral, cognitive and autonomic functions.
