CSF Abeta42, tau and phosphorylated tau correlate with medial temporal lobe atrophySanna Kaisa Herukka
Department of Neurology, University of Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland
J Alzheimers Dis 14:51-7. 2008..However, the order of the changes in the CSF biomarkers and MTL atrophy remain unclear due to a small number of studied subjects and study design...
CSF Abeta42, Tau and phosphorylated Tau, APOE epsilon4 allele and MCI type in progressive MCISanna Kaisa Herukka
Department of Neuroscience and Neurology, Brain Research Unit, Clinical Research Center, Mediteknia, University of Kuopio, 70211 Kuopio, Finland
Neurobiol Aging 28:507-14. 2007..Especially the amnestic MCI is seen as prodrome of AD. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 allele, abnormal CSF Abeta42, Tau and phosphorylated Tau (phospho-Tau) levels are associated with elevated risk for AD...

Institute of Clinical Medicine Neurology, University of Eastern Finland and Department of Neurology, Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland
J Alzheimers Dis 28:553-9. 2012....
Differences in cortical thickness in healthy controls, subjects with mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease patients: a longitudinal studyValtteri Julkunen
Department of Neurology, Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland
J Alzheimers Dis 21:1141-51. 2010....
Longitudinal changes of CSF biomarkers in Alzheimer's diseaseToni T Seppälä
Institute of Clinical Medicine, Neurology, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland
J Alzheimers Dis 25:583-94. 2011..More longitudinal studies of CSF biomarker dynamics are needed, especially in patients during the preclinical stage of the disease...
CSF Abeta42 and tau or phosphorylated tau and prediction of progressive mild cognitive impairmentSanna-Kaisa Herukka
Department of Neurology, University of Kuopio, Finland
Neurology 64:1294-7. 2005..Abnormal biomarkers were found early in the course of Alzheimer disease (AD). The most predictive assay for AD among the patients with MCI was the combination of Abeta42 and P-tau...
Structural MRI in frontotemporal dementia: comparisons between hippocampal volumetry, tensor-based morphometry and voxel-based morphometryMiguel Ángel Muñoz-Ruiz
Institute of Clinical Medicine, Neurology, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland
PLoS ONE 7:e52531. 2012..MRI is an important clinical tool for diagnosing dementia-like diseases such as Frontemporal Dementia (FTD). However there is a need to develop more accurate and standardized MRI analysis methods...
Cerebrospinal fluid {beta}-amyloid 42 and tau proteins as biomarkers of Alzheimer-type pathologic changes in the brainTero Tapiola
Department of Neuroscience and Neurology, Clinical Research Center Mediteknia, Kuopio University Hospital, University of Kuopio, Finland
Arch Neurol 66:382-9. 2009....
GRN variant rs5848 reduces plasma and brain levels of granulin in Alzheimer's disease patientsAnna Kämäläinen
Institute of Clinical Medicine Neurology, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland
J Alzheimers Dis 33:23-7. 2013..Our findings suggest that the A allele of rs5848 is functionally relevant by reducing the expression of granulin...
An association study of 21 potential Alzheimer's disease risk genes in a Finnish populationTimo Sarajärvi
Institute of Clinical Medicine Neurology, University of Eastern Finland, Department of Neurology, Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland
J Alzheimers Dis 21:763-7. 2010..Risk analysis revealed a protective effect for the minor allele carriers of rs1800629. This suggests that genetic alteration in TNF gene may play a role in AD...
Expression of interleukin-18 is increased in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patientsJohanna Ojala
Department of Neuroscience and Neurology, University of Kuopio, Canthia, P O Box 1627, FIN 70211 Kuopio, Finland
Neurobiol Aging 30:198-209. 2009..Plasma levels of IL-18 showed no correlation with the disease. In conclusion, amyloid-beta may induce the synthesis of IL-18, and IL-18 kinases involved in tau phosphorylation as a part of the amyloid-associated inflammatory reaction...
Abeta levels in serum, CSF and brain, and cognitive deficits in APP + PS1 transgenic miceLi Liu
Department of Neuroscience, University of Kuopio, PO Box 1627, 70211 Kuopio, Finland
Neuroreport 14:163-6. 2003..These findings support the role of insoluble Abeta42 in memory dysfunction and suggest a model with several pools (insoluble, extracellular soluble, CSF) of Abeta being in partial equilibrium with each other...
Predicting AD conversion: comparison between prodromal AD guidelines and computer assisted PredictAD toolYawu Liu
Department of Neurology, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland
PLoS ONE 8:e55246. 2013....
Longitudinal observation on CSF Abeta42 levels in young to middle-aged amyloid precursor protein/presenilin-1 doubly transgenic miceLi Liu
Department of Neuroscience and Neurology, University of Kuopio, Finland
Neurobiol Dis 17:516-23. 2004..Our results suggest that the levels of CSF Abeta42 initially reflect the rate of Abeta42 production, but after reaching a critical concentration stay in equilibrium, until plaque formation leads to decreased CSF Abeta42 levels...

Department of Neurology, Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland
J Alzheimers Dis 21:1141-51. 2010....
