  1. Plasma p-tau212 antemortem diagnostic performance and prediction of autopsy verification of Alzheimer's disease neuropathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Nature communications 2024-03-23 Biomarkers

    Blood phosphorylated tau (p-tau) biomarkers, including p-tau217, show high associations with Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathologic change and clinical stage.

  2. Optimal blood tau species for the detection of Alzheimer's disease neuropathology: an immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry and autopsy study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2023-12-30 Biomarkers

    Plasma-to-autopsy studies are essential for validation of blood biomarkers and understanding their relation to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

  3. Associations of the A/T/N profiles in PET, CSF, and plasma biomarkers with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology at autopsy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-07-28 Biomarkers

    This study supports that PET- and CSF-related A/T/N profiles can be used to predict accurately the stages of AD neuropathology.

  4. Ante-mortem plasma phosphorylated tau (181) predicts Alzheimer's disease neuropathology and regional tau at autopsy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2022-10-01 Biomarkers

    Blood-based biomarkers such as tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (phosphorylated-tau181) represent an accessible, cost-effective and scalable approach for the in vivo detection of Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology.

  5. Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative brain autopsy program

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Parkinsonism & related disorders 2022-07-01 Biomarkers

    We report on the initial 17 (11 male:6 female) brain autopsies from across Europe and the United States in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI).
