  1. Hippocampal GFAP-positive astrocyte responses to amyloid and tau pathologies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain, behavior, and immunity 2023-03-04 Brain scans and imaging

    Our results offer insights into Aβ- and tau-driven specific signatures in hippocampal GFAP-positive astrocytes.

  2. In vivo positron emission tomographic imaging of glial responses to amyloid-beta and tau pathologies in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2011-03-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Core pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are aggregated amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) and tau, and the latter is also characteristic of diverse neurodegenerative tauopathies.

  3. Convergence of amyloid-beta and tau pathologies on mitochondria in vivo

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2010-03-09 Genetics

    The histopathological characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are amyloid-beta (Abeta) containing plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) as well as neuronal and synaptic loss.

  4. Characterization of tau pathologies in gray and white matter of Guam parkinsonism-dementia complex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2006-04-12 Drug development

    Guam parkinsonism-dementia complex (PDC) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy in ethnic Chamorro residents of the Mariana Islands that manifests clinically with parkinsonism as well as dementia and is characterized neuropathologically by prominent cortical neuron loss in association with extensive telencephalic neurofibrillary tau pathology.
