  1. Plasma p-tau181 and GFAP reflect 7T MR-derived changes in Alzheimer's disease: A longitudinal study of structural and functional MRI and MRS

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-11-19 Biomarkers

    Both plasma p-tau181 and GFAP appear to reflect disease progression, as indicated by 7T MR-derived brain changes which are not limited to areas known to be affected by tau pathology and neuroinflammation measured by MRS myo-inositol, respectively.

  2. Plasma p-tau181 and amyloid markers in Alzheimer's disease: A comparison between Lumipulse and SIMOA

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2024-08-22 Biomarkers

    One-hundred-thirthy-three participants, namely 55 A+T+N+ AD, 28 Neurodegenerative disorders (NDD) and 50 controls were enrolled for the study.

  3. 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.

  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. CSF biomarkers and plasma p-tau181 as predictors of longitudinal tau accumulation: Implications for clinical trial design

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2022-02-28 Biomarkers

    Clinical trials testing tau-targeting therapies may benefit from using fluid biomarkers to recruit individuals at risk of tau aggregation.

  6. Association of APOE ɛ4 and Plasma p-tau181 with Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease and Longitudinal Change in Hippocampus Function

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2022-01-01 Biomarkers

    Our findings support an association of APOE ɛ4 and p-tau181 with preclinical AD and hippocampus functioning.

  7. Association of plasma P-tau181 with memory decline in non-demented adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Brain communications 2021-06-14 Biomarkers

    Mixed-effect models assessed rates of memory decline in relation to baseline plasma p-tau181, and whether plasma p-tau181 significantly predicted memory decline beyond widely available clinical and genetic data (age, sex, years of education, cardiovascular and metabolic conditions, and APOE ε 4 status).
