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 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.

  2. Associations among plasma, MRI, and amyloid PET biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and the impact of health-related comorbidities in a community-dwelling cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-05-15 Biomarkers

    Plasma biomarkers differed across diagnostic groups (DEM > MCI > CU), were altered in Aβ-PET-positive individuals, and were associated with poorer brain health and kidney function.

  3. Relationship between Plasma P-Tau217 and Amyloid PET in Racial and Ethnic Underrepresented Groups (RE-URG) Compared with Non RE-URG in LEARN and A4

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2024-01-01 Biomarkers

    These findings suggest that the relationship between plasma P-tau217 and PET SUVR is the same across race and ethnicity.

  4. Concordance of CSF measures of Alzheimer's pathology with amyloid PET status in a preclinical cohort: A comparison of Lumipulse and established immunoassays

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2021-02-06 Biomarkers

    The Lumipulse platform provides comparable sensitivity and specificity to established CSF immunoassays in identifying pre-symptomatic AD pathology.
