  1. Plasma phosphorylated tau 217 and longitudinal trajectories of Aβ, tau, and cognition in cognitively unimpaired older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Nature communications 2026-04-14 Biomarkers

    Plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217) is an excellent biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, but it remains uncertain whether pTau217 can predict amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau accumulation prior to Aβ positron emission tomography (PET) positivity.

  2. Distinct subtypes of Alzheimer's disease based on patterns of brain atrophy: longitudinal trajectories and clinical applications

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Scientific reports 2017-04-18 Brain scans and imaging

    Atrophy patterns on MRI can reliably predict three neuropathological subtypes of Alzheimer's disease (AD): typical, limbic-predominant, or hippocampal-sparing.
