  1. Diagnostic accuracy of phosphorylated tau217 in detecting Alzheimer's disease pathology among cognitively impaired and unimpaired: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-12-23 Biomarkers

    Our review summarizes the diagnostic accuracy of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) in detecting amyloid and tau pathology on positron emission tomography (PET).

  2. CSF tau368/total-tau ratio reflects cognitive performance and neocortical tau better compared to p-tau181 and p-tau217 in cognitively impaired individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2022-12-22 Biomarkers

    CSF tau368 concentration was not significantly different across the diagnostic groups, although a modest increase was observed in all groups as compared with healthy young individuals (all P < 0.01).

  3. Plasma levels of phosphorylated tau 181 are associated with cerebral metabolic dysfunction in cognitively impaired and amyloid-positive individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Brain communications 2021-04-15 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease biomarkers are primarily evaluated through MRI, PET and CSF methods in order to diagnose and monitor disease.

  4. Elevated Plasma Aβ42 in Cognitively Impaired Individuals Taking ACE Inhibitor Antihypertensives

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias 2017-04-27 Biomarkers

    This study is the first to show an association between ACE-I use and increased plasma Aβ42 level and Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in cognitively impaired individuals.
