  1. Combination of plasma tumor necrosis factor receptors signaling proteins, beta-amyloid and apolipoprotein E for the detection of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2013-03-15 Biomarkers

    Activation of inflammatory processes has been observed within the brain as well as periphery of subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The Journal of cell biology 2007-08-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The tumor necrosis factor type 1 death receptor (TNFR1) contributes to apoptosis.

  3. Interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha regulate amyloid-beta plaque deposition and beta-secretase expression in Swedish mutant APP transgenic mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of pathology 2007-02-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Reactive astrocytes and microglia in Alzheimer's disease surround amyloid plaques and secrete proinflammatory cytokines that affect neuronal function.

  4. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and interferon-gamma stimulate gamma-secretase-mediated cleavage of amyloid precursor protein through a JNK-dependent MAPK pathway

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 2004-09-03 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The deposition of the amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide in neuritic plaques plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
