  1. Diagnostic performance of plasma p-tau217 in a memory clinic cohort using the Lumipulse automated platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2025-03-27 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau217 shows excellent results for detecting amyloid pathology at brain level in a clinical setting with an AUC of 0.95.

  2. Assessing diagnostic performance of plasma biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease versus cognitively unimpaired individuals: P-tau217 emerges as the optimal marker in Chinese cohorts

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2025-03-26 Biomarkers

    P-tau217 stands out as a highly effective biomarker for distinguishing AD from CUC, exhibiting extensive clinical application potential in the Chinese population.

  3. Plasma p-tau212 antemortem diagnostic performance and prediction of autopsy verification of Alzheimer's disease neuropathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Nature communications 2024-03-23 Biomarkers

    Blood phosphorylated tau (p-tau) biomarkers, including p-tau217, show high associations with Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathologic change and clinical stage.

  4. Diagnostic Performance of a Tablet Computer-Based Cognitive Screening Test for Identification of Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Journal of Korean medical science 2023-05-01 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Demographic and clinical characteristics between individuals with aMCI defined by the Inbrain CST and CERAD-K were not significantly different.

  5. The diagnostic performance of neurofilament light chain in CSF and blood for Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2019-11-04 Biomarkers

    Comparable performance of CSF and blood NfL in many groups demonstrates the promise of NfL as a noninvasive biomarker of neurodegeneration; however, its utility in clinically meaningful scenarios requires greater scrutiny.
