  1. Clinical utility of plasma p-tau217 in identifying abnormal brain amyloid burden in an Asian cohort with high prevalence of concomitant cerebrovascular disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-01-14 Biomarkers

    Risk stratification for PET Aβ+ based on a plasma p-tau217 assay demonstrated potential diagnostic and prognostic utility in an Asian cohort with concomitant CeVD.

  2. Plasma pTau217 predicts continuous brain amyloid levels in preclinical and early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-06-28 Biomarkers

    Models integrating pTau217R outperformed Aβ42/Aβ40 alone, predicting amyloid levels up to 89.1 CL.

  3. Clinical validation of the PrecivityAD2 blood test: A mass spectrometry-based test with algorithm combining %p-tau217 and Aβ42/40 ratio to identify presence of brain amyloid

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-03-16 Biomarkers

    The PrecivityAD2 blood test showed strong clinical validity, with excellent agreement with brain amyloidosis by PET.

  4. Elevated plasma sclerostin is associated with high brain amyloid-β load in cognitively normal older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. npj aging 2023-09-04 Biomarkers

    Osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD) mainly affect older individuals, and the possibility of an underlying link contributing to their shared epidemiological features has rarely been investigated.

  5. Integrated algorithm combining plasma biomarkers and cognitive assessments accurately predicts brain β-amyloid pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Communications medicine 2023-05-10 Biomarkers

    The innovative integrated models provide opportunity to assess Aβ pathology in a non-invasive and cost-effective way, which might facilitate AD-drug development, early screening, clinical diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.
