  1. Neuropathology, Neuroimaging, and Fluid Biomarkers in Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland) 2024-03-27 Biomarkers

    An improved understanding of the pathobiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) should lead ultimately to an earlier and more accurate diagnosis of AD, providing the opportunity to intervene earlier in the disease process and to improve outcomes.

  2. 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.

  3. Optimal blood tau species for the detection of Alzheimer's disease neuropathology: an immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry and autopsy study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2023-12-30 Biomarkers

    Plasma-to-autopsy studies are essential for validation of blood biomarkers and understanding their relation to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

  4. Associations of the A/T/N profiles in PET, CSF, and plasma biomarkers with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology at autopsy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-07-28 Biomarkers

    This study supports that PET- and CSF-related A/T/N profiles can be used to predict accurately the stages of AD neuropathology.

  5. Ante-mortem plasma phosphorylated tau (181) predicts Alzheimer's disease neuropathology and regional tau at autopsy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2022-10-01 Biomarkers

    Blood-based biomarkers such as tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (phosphorylated-tau181) represent an accessible, cost-effective and scalable approach for the in vivo detection of Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology.

  6. Associations between brain inflammatory profiles and human neuropathology are altered based on apolipoprotein E ε4 genotype

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Scientific reports 2020-02-19 Genetics

    Alzheimer disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease with a multitude of contributing genetic factors, many of which are related to inflammation.

  7. Aquaporin-4 reduces neuropathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease by remodeling peri-plaque astrocyte structure

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica communications 2019-05-08 Biomarkers

    Redistribution of the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) away from astrocyte endfeet and into parenchymal processes is a striking histological feature in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurological conditions with prominent astrogliosis.
