  1. Comprehensive evaluation of plasma tau biomarkers for detecting and monitoring Alzheimer's disease in a multicenter and multiethnic aging population

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Nature aging 2025-06-23 Biomarkers

    Over 20% of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) worldwide are Chinese, although the efficacy of existing blood-based measures of AD biomarkers is largely unknown in Asian cohorts.

  2. 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).

  3. Exploring the potential of fully automated LUMIPULSE G plasma assays for detecting Alzheimer's disease pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-03-07 Biomarkers

    Our results show that the measurement of p-Tau181 in plasma has great potential as a non-invasive prognostic screening tool for implementation in a clinical setting.

  4. Diagnostic Accuracy of Plasma p-tau217 for Detecting Pathological Cerebrospinal Fluid Changes in Cognitively Unimpaired Subjects Using the Lumipulse Platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2024-01-01 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau217 measured using the Lumipulse platform shows promise as an accurate biomarker of preclinical AD pathology.

  5. This nanostructured conductive interface favors penetration of water-soluble biomolecules and catalyzes a redox reaction, providing limits of detection (LOD) of 6.63 pg/mL for Aβ 40 and 3.74 pg/mL for Aβ 42 .
