  1. Plasma Aβ as a biomarker for predicting Aβ-PET status in Alzheimer's disease:a systematic review with meta-analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 81 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2022-03-03 Biomarkers

    Plasma Aβ40 values might not distinguish between PET (+) and PET (-) people.

  2. 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.

  3. Concordance of CSF measures of Alzheimer's pathology with amyloid PET status in a preclinical cohort: A comparison of Lumipulse and established immunoassays

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2021-02-06 Biomarkers

    The Lumipulse platform provides comparable sensitivity and specificity to established CSF immunoassays in identifying pre-symptomatic AD pathology.

  4. The impact of demographic, clinical, genetic, and imaging variables on tau PET status

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2020-11-19 Brain scans and imaging

    We identified several demographic, clinical, and neurobiological factors that are important to explain the variance in tau PET retention observed across the AD pathological continuum, non-AD neurodegenerative disorders, and cognitively unimpaired persons.
