  1. Elevated plasma p-tau181 levels unrelated to Alzheimer's disease pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2023-04-03 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau181 is elevated in patients with ALS, independently from CSF levels, and is firmly associated with LMN dysfunction.

  2. Elevated Plasma Phosphorylated Tau 181 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2022-08-17 Biomarkers

    We found strong evidence that plasma p-tau 181 is elevated in ALS and may be a novel marker specific to LMN dysfunction.

  3. The diagnostic performance of neurofilament light chain in CSF and blood for Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2019-11-04 Biomarkers

    Comparable performance of CSF and blood NfL in many groups demonstrates the promise of NfL as a noninvasive biomarker of neurodegeneration; however, its utility in clinically meaningful scenarios requires greater scrutiny.

  4. Different neuroinflammatory profile in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia is linked to the clinical phase

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2018-09-17 Biomarkers

    Our data indicate that neuroinflammation is linked to the symptomatic phase of ALS/FTD and shows a similar pattern in sporadic and genetic cases.
