  1. Comparison of plasma p-tau217 and p-tau181 in predicting amyloid positivity and prognosis among Korean memory clinic patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Scientific reports 2025-03-06 Biomarkers

    We investigated plasma phosphorylated tau217 (p-tau217) and p-tau181 efficacy in predicting positive amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) results and cognitive stage transitions.

  2. Neuropathological changes associated with aberrant cerebrospinal fluid p-tau181 and Aβ42 in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica communications 2024-03-27 Biomarkers

    Recent studies suggest that increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phospho-tau is associated with brain amyloid pathology rather than the tau pathology.

  3. Influence of Physiological Variables and Comorbidities on Plasma Aβ40, Aβ42, and p-tau181 Levels in Cognitively Unimpaired Individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. International journal of molecular sciences 2024-01-25 Biomarkers

    Plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are a promising tool that may help in early diagnosis.

  4. Levels of plasma brain-derived tau and p-tau181 in Alzheimer's disease and rapidly progressive dementias

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-10-19 Biomarkers

    Plasma BD-tau and p-tau181 mimic their corresponding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers.

  5. Predicting cognitive stage transition using p-tau181, Centiloid, and other measures

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-03-29 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau181 and Centiloid scale alone or in combination with other biomarkers, might predict future cognitive stage transition in non-dementia patients.

  6. CSF tau368/total-tau ratio reflects cognitive performance and neocortical tau better compared to p-tau181 and p-tau217 in cognitively impaired individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2022-12-22 Biomarkers

    CSF tau368 concentration was not significantly different across the diagnostic groups, although a modest increase was observed in all groups as compared with healthy young individuals (all P < 0.01).

  7. Dissociable contribution of plasma NfL and p-tau181 to cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Parkinsonism & related disorders 2022-06-08 Biomarkers

    Plasma NfL levels objectively differentiates PD-MCI from PD-NC patients, and may serve as a plasma biomarker for predicting progression to dementia in PD.
