摘要:
Methods, biomarkers, and expression signatures are disclosed for assessing the disease progression of Alzheimers disease (AD). In one embodiment, BioAge (biological age), NdStress (neurodegenerative stress), Alz (Alzheimer), and Inflame (inflammation) are used as biomarkers of AD progression. In another aspect, the invention comprises a gene signature for evaluating disease progression. In still another embodiment, methods for evaluating disease progression are provided. In yet another embodiment, the invention can be used to identify animal models for use in the development and evaluation of therapeutics for the treatment of AD.
