  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. Association between blood-based protein biomarkers and brain MRI in the Alzheimer's disease continuum: a systematic review

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. Journal of neurology 2024-09-12 Biomarkers

    Blood-based biomarkers (BBM) are becoming easily detectable tools to reveal pathological changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. Neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's continuum and their association with plasma biomarkers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Journal of affective disorders 2023-12-29 Biomarkers

    This study supported neuropsychiatric symptoms as early manifestations of preclinical Alzheimer's disease, and suggested plasma NfL to be a potential biomarker for detecting neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's continuum.

  5. Microglial Activation, Tau Pathology, and Neurodegeneration Biomarkers Predict Longitudinal Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease Continuum

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2022-06-30 Biomarkers

    Baseline CSF Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio was decreased in MCI and AD compared to CN, while CSF p-tau181 and t-tau increased.

  6. Longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid biomarker trajectories along the Alzheimer's disease continuum in the BIOMARKAPD study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 49 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2019-04-06 Biomarkers

    All four CSF biomarkers increase with age, but this effect deviates in AD for t-tau and p-tau.
