  1. Plasma Biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease and Neurodegeneration According to Sociodemographic Characteristics and Chronic Health Conditions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2024-01-01 Biomarkers

    Ultrasensitive assays have been developed which enable biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology and neurodegeneration to be measured in blood.

  2. Blood-brain barrier breakdown is linked to tau pathology and neuronal injury in a differential manner according to amyloid deposition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism 2023-06-07 Biomarkers

    The blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown has been suggested as an early marker for Alzheimer's disease (AD); yet the relationship between BBB breakdown and AD-specific biomarkers based on the amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration framework is not clear.

  3. Serum NGAL is Associated with Distinct Plasma Amyloid-β Peptides According to the Clinical Diagnosis of Dementia in Down Syndrome

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2015-01-01 Biomarkers

    Serum NGAL levels are increased in DS and associated with distinct species of Aβ depending on the progression of dementia as diagnosed by baseline and follow-up clinical assessments.
