You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. Whole genome-wide sequence analysis of long-lived families (Long-Life Family Study) identifies MTUS2 gene associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-02-21 Biomarkers

    MTUS2 encodes a microtubule associated protein implicated in the development and function of the nervous system, making it a plausible candidate to investigate LOAD biology.

  2. Investigation of Whole and Glandular Saliva as a Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain sciences 2022-05-03 Biomarkers

    Salivary Aβ40, Aβ42, t-tau, and p -tau 181 are commonly employed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) investigations.

  3. We discovered age-dependent genetic effects, established associations between vascular-related genes (KLKB1, F12, PLIN2) and midlife plasma aβ levels, and identified a plausible Alzheimer's Disease candidate gene (ITPRIP) influencing cell death.
