  1. The impact of kidney function on plasma neurofilament light and phospho-tau 181 in a community-based cohort: the Shanghai Aging Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-02-12 Biomarkers

    Considering renal function and age is crucial when interpreting AD biomarkers in the general aging population.

  2. Phospho-tau with subthreshold tau-PET predicts increased tau accumulation rates in amyloid-positive individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2023-04-01 Biomarkers

    The A+P+T- group showed a slower rate of increase in tau-PET compared to the A+P+T+ group, primarily in neocortical regions.

  3. Cerebrospinal fluid phospho-tau T217 outperforms T181 as a biomarker for the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and PET amyloid-positive patient identification

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2020-03-17 Tau biomarkers

    Increased cerebrospinal fluid pT217 levels, more than those of pT181, are highly specific biomarkers for detecting both the preclinical and advanced forms of Alzheimer's disease.

  4. Clinical value of neurofilament and phospho-tau/tau ratio in the frontotemporal dementia spectrum

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Neurology 2018-03-07 Biomarkers

    NfL and p/t-tau similarly discriminated FTD from controls, but not between clinical subtypes, apart from FTD-MND.

  5. SNPs associated with cerebrospinal fluid phospho-tau levels influence rate of decline in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. PLoS genetics 2010-09-16 Genetics

    Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a complex and multifactorial disease.

  6. Amyloid beta peptide ratio 42/40 but not A beta 42 correlates with phospho-Tau in patients with low- and high-CSF A beta 40 load

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2007-01-24 Tau biomarkers

    Neurochemical dementia diagnostics (NDD) can significantly improve the clinically based categorization of patients with early dementia disorders, and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amyloid beta peptides ending at the amino acid position of 42 (A beta x-42 and A beta 1-42) are widely accepted biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  7. Transient increase in total tau but not phospho-tau in human cerebrospinal fluid after acute stroke

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2001-01-01 Tau biomarkers

    An increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-total-tau, and recently also in CSF-phospho-tau, has been found in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
