1. Candidate biomarkers for synaptic pathology: neurogranin, neuroligins and neurexins in neurodegenerative disorders
Abstract : Synapses are small units through which neurons communicate in the brain. They represent the site of memory formation and cognitive abilities and are thus primarily affected by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia in the elderly population.

2. The postsynaptic protein neurogranin: a new item in the Alzheimer’s disease biomarker toolbox
Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia affecting more than 50 million people worldwide today and is characterised by progressive cognitive decline. One of the earliest events in AD, which is also closely related to neuronal loss and the degree of dementia, is synaptic degeneration. READ MORE

3. Increasing the interpretability of Alzheimer-related biomarkers: cell- and cerebrospinal fluid-based studies with focus on neurogranin
Abstract : Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a growing field of research. A particularly vibrant field during recent years has been biomarkers for synaptic dysfunction. READ MORE

4. Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Diagnostic Markers in Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is a growing concern. As the life expectancy increases across the globe, the number of affected people is estimated to reach 100 million by 2050. READ MORE

5. Alzheimer's disease : towards a multifaceted approach in neuropathological diagnosis
Abstract : The main aim of this study has been to investigate potential neuropathological features which may play an important role in understanding the cognitive dysfunction and in making the final diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To establish a reliable diagnosis of AD, standardisation and uniformity of the diagnostic protocols must become mandatory. READ MORE
