    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-10-01 Biomarkers

    Retinal microvascular alterations, assayed via CFP, are linked to AD-specific proteinopathy and cerebrovascular pathology, supporting CFP as a scalable, non-invasive tool for AD biomarker discovery.

  2. Diagnosis of cognitive impairment and dementia: blood plasma and optical coherence tomography

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Brain communications 2024-12-27 Biomarkers

    After adjusting for retinal scan signal strength, neurofilament light chain showed a stronger negative association with retinal nerve fibre layer thickness [standardized beta estimate ( β ) = -0.184] and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness ( β = -0.139) compared to phosphorylated tau181, which exhibited weaker associations with ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer ( β = -0.091) and retinal nerve fibre layer ( β = -0.059).

  3. The measurement of plasma Aβ peptides with an immunological assay can be improved by preconcentration via immunoprecipitation with an antibody against the Aβ amino-terminus and elution of the captured peptides by heating in a mild detergent-containing buffer.
