Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 is sensitive to early cerebral amyloid accumulation and predicts risk of cognitive decline across the Alzheimer's disease spectrum

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-12-23 Biomarkers

    Lumipulse plasma Aβ 42 /Aβ 40 is a scalable assay for detection of cerebral Aβ and prediction of risk for cognitive decline across the AD continuum.

  2. Plasma pTau181 and pTau217 predict asymptomatic amyloid accumulation equally well as amyloid PET

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Brain communications 2024-05-23 Biomarkers

    These findings indicate that plasma pTau181, plasma pTau217 and amyloid-β PET convey overlapping information and therefore predict the dynamic phase of asymptomatic amyloid-β accumulation with comparable performances.

  3. Inhibiting TLR2 activation attenuates amyloid accumulation and glial activation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain, behavior, and immunity 2016-07-12 Biomarkers

    The effects of Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation in peripheral cells are well characterized but, although several TLRs are expressed on cells of the brain, the consequences of their activation on neuronal function remain to be fully investigated, particularly in the context of assessing their potential as therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative diseases.
