  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. Assessment of the Correlation and Diagnostic Accuracy between Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers: A Comparison of the Lumipulse and Simoa Platforms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. International journal of molecular sciences 2024-04-23 Biomarkers

    We compared the clinical and analytical performance of Alzheimer's disease (AD) plasma biomarkers measured using the single-molecule array (Simoa) and Lumipulse platforms.

  3. 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.

  4. Alzheimer's disease diagnostic accuracy by fluid and neuroimaging ATN framework

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. CNS neuroscience & therapeutics 2023-07-12 Biomarkers

    Our findings suggest that plasma, CSF, and neuroimaging biomarkers differ considerably within the ATN framework; the most accurate target biomarkers for diagnosing AD were the CSF-A, neuroimaging-T, and neuroimaging-N within each ATN modality.

  5. Assessment of the Concordance and Diagnostic Accuracy Between Elecsys and Lumipulse Fully Automated Platforms and Innotest

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2021-03-04 Biomarkers

    Manual ELISA assays are the most commonly used methods for quantification of biomarkers; however, they often show inter- and intra-laboratory variability that limits their wide use.

  6. Plasma total prion protein as a potential biomarker for neurodegenerative dementia: diagnostic accuracy in the spectrum of prion diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neuropathology and applied neurobiology 2019-07-19 Biomarkers

    Plasma t-PrP is elevated in prion diseases regardless of aetiology.

  7. Cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light levels in neurodegenerative dementia: Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy in the differential diagnosis of prion diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2018-02-03 Biomarkers

    Increased NFL levels are a common feature in neurodegenerative dementias.
