Novel cell markers with altered expression in brain aging and Alzheimer's disease: A review.
Article in IBRO neuroscience reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aging and Alzheimer's disease are complex processes marked by continuous neuronal loss, disrupted neural networks, and cognitive decline. The past decade has seen advances in genomics, proteomics, and single-cell RNA sequencing, enabling the discovery of cellular markers with distinct gene expression patterns. This review aims to compile recent markers of aging and Alzheimer's disease in immune, glial, and neuronal cells, which are increasingly vital for enhancing diagnostic precision and monitoring disease progression. Markers such as Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) and Cluster of differentiation 33 (CD33) facilitate immune responses and function as indicators of neuroinflammation and amyloid-beta clearance; Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and aquaporin-4 serve as indicators of gliosis and impaired interstitial fluid drainage; Postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP25), and aberrant tau phosphorylation signify synaptic degradation and cytoskeletal instability characteristic of Alzheimer's pathology. The breakdown of the blood-brain barrier is associated with endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1). The markers were identified using cutting-edge technologies that unveiled variations in gene expression across cell types, brain regions, and disease stages. This cellular heterogeneity improves understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression and brain aging, clarifies molecular pathways, and may be used for prognostic and diagnostic purposes after thorough validation. Novel cellular markers with altered expression profiles are still being identified through ongoing research, which could be crucial for improving our understanding of and ability to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
