You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. A comparison of p-tau assays for the specificity to detect tau changes in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-04-01 Biomarkers

    LMW-specific p-tau assays could be more useful in the diagnostic workup of AD, especially in population-based communities where conditions causing peripheral neuropathy are frequent.

  2. Cis P-tau is a central circulating and placental etiologic driver and therapeutic target of preeclampsia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Nature communications 2023-09-05 Biomarkers

    Preeclampsia (PE) is the leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality globally and may trigger dementia later in life in mothers and their offspring.

  3. Synergistic Association between Plasma Aβ1-42 and p-tau in Alzheimer's Disease but Not in Parkinson's Disease or Frontotemporal Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. ACS chemical neuroscience 2021-04-07 Biomarkers

    Beta-amyloid (Aβ 1-42 ) triggers the phosphorylation of tau protein in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the relationship between phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and Aβ 1-42 in the blood is not elucidated.

  4. Synaptic basis of Alzheimer's disease: Focus on synaptic amyloid beta, P-tau and mitochondria

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Ageing research reviews 2020-11-04 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and synaptic failure disease.

  5. Diagnostic and prognostic value of serum NfL and p-Tau181 in frontotemporal lobar degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2020-07-01 Biomarkers

    The assessment of serum NfL and p-Tau 181 may provide a comprehensive view of FTLD, aiding in the differential diagnosis, in staging disease severity and in defining survival probability.

  6. Regional [18F]flortaucipir PET is more closely associated with disease severity than CSF p-tau in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2020-04-14 Brain scans and imaging

    Regional [ 18 F]flortaucipir BP ND correlated stronger with cognition and neurodegeneration than CSF p-tau, suggesting that tau PET more accurately reflects disease severity in AD.

  7. CSF sTREM2 in delirium-relation to Alzheimer's disease CSF biomarkers Aβ42, t-tau and p-tau

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Journal of neuroinflammation 2018-11-03 TREM2 and immune genetics

    The findings reinforce the involvement of neuroinflammation in delirium, yet with separate responses in patients with or without pre-existing dementia.

  8. Overall, these results support the vervet as a non-human primate model of amyloid-related neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer's disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and highlight Aβ 1-40 and p-tau 181 as potentially valuable biomarkers of these processes.

  9. Cerebral Microbleeds, CSF p-Tau, and Cognitive Decline: Significance of Anatomic Distribution

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology 2015-07-30 Biomarkers

    The distribution of microbleeds revealed different associations with amyloid-β and phosphorylated tau 181 protein levels and cognition.

  10. Our results support the use of the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in addition to the usual CSF AD biomarkers for patients with ambiguous biological profiles.
