  1. A minimally invasive dried blood spot biomarker test for the detection of Alzheimer's disease pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Nature medicine 2026-01-05 Biomarkers

    Blood biomarkers have emerged as accurate tools for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional diagnostic methods such as imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis.

  2. Plasma p-tau181 as a promising non-invasive biomarker of Alzheimer's Disease pathology in Subjective Cognitive Decline and Mild Cognitive Impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of the neurological sciences 2023-09-12 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau181 levels were influenced by the presence of underlying AD pathology, independently from the cognitive status and were highly accurate in differentiating SCD-MCI patients who were carriers of AD pathology from non-carriers.

  3. CSF metabolites associated with biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2023-08-30 Biomarkers

    This study provides evidence that CSF metabolites are associated with AD-related pathology, and many of these associations may be causal.

  4. Elevated plasma p-tau181 levels unrelated to Alzheimer's disease pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2023-04-03 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau181 is elevated in patients with ALS, independently from CSF levels, and is firmly associated with LMN dysfunction.

  5. Plasma GFAP associates with secondary Alzheimer's pathology in Lewy body disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2023-03-31 Biomarkers

    Linear models showed that plasma GFAP was significantly higher in αSyn+AD compared to αSyn (β = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.065-0.56, and P = 0.015), after covarying for age at plasma, plasma-to-death interval, and sex; plasma p-tau 181 was not (P = 0.37).

  6. Associating Alzheimer's disease pathology with its cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2022-11-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease CSF biomarkers 42 amino acid long amyloid-β peptide (Aβ1-42), total tau protein (T-tau), and tau protein phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau181) are considered surrogate biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology, and significantly improve diagnostic accuracy.

  7. Association between Life's Simple 7 and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology in cognitively intact adults: the CABLE study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2022-05-26 Biomarkers

    Improving LS7 scores might do a favor to alleviate the pathology of AD in the preclinical stage, especially among the APOE ε4 allele non-carriers.

  8. Association of serum Apolipoprotein B with cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer's pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2020-09-10 Biomarkers

    This study is the first to find protective associations of serum ApoB with CSF AD core biomarkers, especially in SCD individuals.

  9. Involvement of the Chemokine Prokineticin-2 (PROK2) in Alzheimer's Disease: From Animal Models to the Human Pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cells 2019-11-13 Biomarkers

    Among mediators of inflammation, chemokines play a pivotal role in the neuroinflammatory process related to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  10. Concordance Between Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers with Alzheimer's Disease Pathology Between Three Independent Assay Platforms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2018-01-01 Biomarkers

    This study confirms strong concordance between CSF biomarkers and PET Aβ-amyloid status is independent of immunoassay platform, supporting their utility as biomarkers in clinical practice for the diagnosis of AD and for participant enrichment in clinical trials.

  11. Plasma Proteomic Profiles of Cerebrospinal Fluid-Defined Alzheimer's Disease Pathology in Older Adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    Plasma proteins improved classification accuracy of AD pathology in cognitively-impaired older adults and appeared representative of amyloid pathology.

  12. Increased immunoreactivity for Jun- and Fos-related proteins in Alzheimer's disease: association with pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 1994-02-01 Biomarkers

    The protein products of the Jun and Fos immediate early gene (IEG) families are cooperative transcriptional regulatory factors implicated in regulating the expression of many genes.
