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. These results confirm that blood-based pTau217 is a reliable marker of amyloid pathology with significant implications for clinical practice in the AD continuum.

  2. Blood phosphorylated Tau181 reliably differentiates amyloid-positive from amyloid-negative subjects in the Alzheimer's disease continuum: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 76 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2025-01-16 Biomarkers

    Regardless of the laboratory technique, blood p-tau181 reliably differentiates A+ and A- subjects.

  3. Plasma pTau217 ratio predicts continuous regional brain tau accumulation in amyloid-positive early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-11-22 Biomarkers

    PTau217R reliably predicts regional tau accumulation in early AD, reducing reliance on tau PET scans and broadening its clinical application.

  4. Head-to-head comparison between plasma p-tau217 and flortaucipir-PET in amyloid-positive patients with cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-09-22 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau217 and cortical FTP-SUVR were correlated (r = 0.61, p < .001), especially in temporo-parietal and dorsolateral frontal cortices.
