  1. Influence of cognitive impairment and race on plasma p-Tau217 in two diverse cohorts

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-02-01 Biomarkers

    Severity of cognitive impairment and race both influence plasma p-Tau 217 levels beyond race-associated differences in CSF p-Tau 181 .

  2. Plasma p-tau217 and neurofilament/p-tau217 ratio in differentiating Alzheimer's disease from syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 76 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-01-08 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau 217 and the NfL/p-tau 217 ratio are promising non-invasive biomarkers for differentiating AD from FTLD, suggesting their use as a potential alternative to traditional diagnostic methods.

  3. Potential Utility of Plasma P-Tau and Neurofilament Light Chain as Surrogate Biomarkers for Preventive Clinical Trials

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Neurology 2023-03-06 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau181/NfL can potentially be used to monitor large-scale population interventions in CU individuals.

  4. Plasma p-tau181 shows stronger network association to Alzheimer's disease dementia than neurofilament light and total tau

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2021-12-02 Biomarkers

    These results support plasma p-tau 181 for the detection of AD dementia and the use of blood-based biomarkers for optimal disease detection.
