  1. Differential levels of p75NTR ectodomain in CSF and blood in patients with Alzheimer's disease: a novel diagnostic marker

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2015-10-06 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the primary cause of dementia in the elderly.

  2. CSF amyloid β38 as a novel diagnostic marker for dementia with Lewy bodies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2010-11-03 Biomarkers

    This study suggests that the level of Aβ38 can potentially contribute in the diagnostic distinction between AD and DLB when combined with Aβ42.

  3. Tau in cerebrospinal fluid: a potential diagnostic marker in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Annals of neurology 1995-10-01 Tau biomarkers

    Cerebrospinal fluid from 70 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 96 patients with non-AD neurological diseases as well as 19 normal control subjects was surveyed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quantitate levels of the microtubule-associated protein tau in cerebrospinal fluid.
