0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE These findings suggest that (1) LB pathology can influence the clinical features of familial AD, (2) the E184D mutation of presenilin-1 may be associated with the LB formation through Abeta overproduction, although the process of LB formation is strongly affected by other unknown mechanisms, (3) in neurodegenerative disorders with LBs, there is a common pathophysiological background inducing NAC accumulation in neuritic plaques and astrocytes, and (4) the NAC accumulation in neuritic plaques is modulated by the abnormally aggregated tau protein. 12410385 2002

0.200 PosttranslationalModification disease BEFREE The major changes include the formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles primarily owing to the deposition of amyloid β plaques (Aβ) and hyper-phosphorylation of tau protein. 29183770 2018
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques

Disease: Senile Plaques
Senile Plaques
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE It has now been ~ 30 years since the Alzheimer's disease (AD) research entered what may be termed the 'molecular era' that began with the identification of the amyloid β protein (Aβ) as the primary component of amyloid within senile plaques and cerebrovascular amyloid and the microtubule-associated protein tau as the primary component of neurofibrillary tangles in the AD brain. 27145445 2016
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques
Senile Plaques
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common chronic neurodegenerative disease, is pathologically characterized by the formation of neurofibrillary tangles because of hyperphosphorylation of tau protein and extracellular deposits of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein termed senile plaques. 29200096 2018
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques
Senile Plaques
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE Pathologically, patients with AD are characterized by deposition of senile plaques (SPs), formed by β-amyloid (Aβ), and neurofibrillary tangles (NTFs) that consist of aggregated hyperphosphorylated tau protein. 30003951 2018
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques
Senile Plaques
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known to be caused by the accumulation of deformed beta amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins resulting into formation and aggregation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. 29377514 2018
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques
Senile Plaques
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE The formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of the tau protein are the main pathological mechanism of Alzheimer's disease (AD). 29338678 2019
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques

0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE The accumulation of β-amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau protein are two hallmarks of AD. 30964647 2019
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques
Senile Plaques
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE Further, since intracerebral injections of PHF tau with and without AlCl3 in rats appear uniquely capable of inducing co-deposits of a number of proteins found in authentic AD SPs and NFTs (including A beta, ubiquitin, ACT, and ApoE), we speculate that the contributions of PHF tau to plaque and tangle formation in AD may be modulated by aluminum. 7525898 1994
CUI: C0333463
Disease: Senile Plaques
Senile Plaques
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE A central event in Alzheimer's disease is the conformational change from normally circulating soluble amyloid beta peptides (A beta) and tau proteins into amyloid fibrils, in the form of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles respectively. 7534068 1995
CUI: C0333463
