Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Plasma β-amyloid, tau, neurodegeneration biomarkers and inflammatory factors of probable Alzheimer's disease dementia in Chinese individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2022-08-18 Biomarkers

    The levels of plasma ATN biomarkers (Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, p-tua181, and NfL) were significantly changed in clinically diagnosed AD patients and they all associated with different domains of cognitive impairment.

  2. Microglial Activation, Tau Pathology, and Neurodegeneration Biomarkers Predict Longitudinal Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease Continuum

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2022-06-30 Biomarkers

    Baseline CSF Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio was decreased in MCI and AD compared to CN, while CSF p-tau181 and t-tau increased.

  3. Association between cerebrospinal fluid and plasma neurodegeneration biomarkers with brain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2017-06-17 Biomarkers

    The aggregation and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides into plaques is an early event in Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is followed by different aspects of neurodegeneration that can be measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or plasma using neurofilament light (NFL), neurogranin (Ng), total Tau (T-Tau), and phosphorylated tau (P-Tau) levels.
