  1. Effects of certain pre-analytical factors on the performance of plasma phospho-tau217

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-02-08 Biomarkers

    Centrifugation improved the performance of plasma p-tau217, but thawing temperatures and up to three freeze-thaw cycles did not have a significant impact.

  2. Performance of Fully-Automated High-Throughput Plasma Biomarker Assays for Alzheimer's Disease in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment Subjects

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2024-01-01 Biomarkers

    High-throughput and fully-automated plasma assays could be helpful in discriminating with high accuracy between aMCI in the AD continuum and aMCI unlikely due to AD in clinical settings.

  3. The Association of Alzheimer's Disease-Related Blood-Based Biomarkers with Cognitive Screening Test Performance in the Congolese Population in Kinshasa

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2024-01-01 Biomarkers

    Understanding relationships between AD-related screening tests and blood biomarkers is a step towards utilization of blood-based biomarker tests as a screening tool for AD, especially in resource-limited regions.

  4. Performance of the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, measured with a novel HPLC-MS/MS method, as a biomarker of amyloid PET status in a DPUK-KOREAN cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2021-10-22 Biomarkers

    Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40, as measured by this novel LC-MS method, showed good discriminating performance based on PET positivity.

  5. Prediction of conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease dementia based upon biomarkers and neuropsychological test performance

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2010-12-14 Tau biomarkers

    The current study tested the accuracy of primary MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker candidates and neuropsychological tests for predicting the conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia.
