  1. Prediction of amyloid and tau brain deposition and cognitive decline in people with Down syndrome using plasma biomarkers: a longitudinal cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. The Lancet. Neurology 2025-07-01 Biomarkers

    Baseline p-tau217, as well as GFAP, NfL, or t-tau, were individually associated with longitudinal changes in DS-MSE, Aβ-PET, and tau-PET, and with progression to dementia.

  2. Timeline to symptomatic Alzheimer's disease in people with Down syndrome as assessed by amyloid-PET and tau-PET: a longitudinal cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. The Lancet. Neurology 2024-12-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Generalised linear regressions showed significant quadratic associations between amyloid age and cognitive performance and cubic associations between amyloid age and tau, both at baseline and at the 32-month follow-up.

  3. Subjective cognitive complaints and blood biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases: a longitudinal cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-11-11 Biomarkers

    In community and clinical settings, SCC predict both dementia and depression in the absence of dementia.

  4. Post-vaccination infection rates and modification of COVID-19 symptoms in vaccinated UK school-aged children and adolescents: A prospective longitudinal cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. The Lancet regional health. Europe 2022-07-08 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Between August 5, 2021 and February 14, 2022, 25,971 UK CA aged 12-17 years received one dose of BNT162b2 vaccine.

  5. Transition rates between amyloid and neurodegeneration biomarker states and to dementia: a population-based, longitudinal cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. The Lancet. Neurology 2015-11-18 Brain scans and imaging

    Our transition rates suggest that brain ageing is a nearly inevitable acceleration toward worse biomarker and clinical states.
