  1. Exploring the association between mild behavioral impairment and plasma p-tau217: Implications for early detection of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2025-04-01 Biomarkers

    Highlights Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is linked to elevated plasma p-tau217, a specific Alzheimer's disease biomarker.MBI increases the odds of plasma p-tau217 positivity in dementia-free individuals.

  2. Serum neurofilament light chain and inflammatory cytokines as biomarkers for early detection of mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Scientific reports 2024-04-20 Biomarkers

    To investigate the association between serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels, inflammatory cytokines, and cognitive function to assess their utility in the early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

  3. A blood-based multi-pathway biomarker assay for early detection and staging of Alzheimer's disease across ethnic groups

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-01-06 Biomarkers

    This study demonstrated the utility of a blood-based, multi-pathway biomarker assay for early screening and staging of AD, providing insights for patient stratification and precision medicine.
