  1. Evaluation of plasma p-tau217 for detecting amyloid pathology in a heterogeneous community-based cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-07-01 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau217 is an accurate indicator of amyloid pathology in a heterogeneous cohort and is superior to other plasma biomarkers assessed.

  2. Exploring the association between mild behavioral impairment and plasma p-tau217: Implications for early detection of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2025-04-01 Biomarkers

    Highlights Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is linked to elevated plasma p-tau217, a specific Alzheimer's disease biomarker.MBI increases the odds of plasma p-tau217 positivity in dementia-free individuals.

  3. Comparison of plasma p-tau217 and p-tau181 in predicting amyloid positivity and prognosis among Korean memory clinic patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Scientific reports 2025-03-06 Biomarkers

    We investigated plasma phosphorylated tau217 (p-tau217) and p-tau181 efficacy in predicting positive amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) results and cognitive stage transitions.

  4. Clinical application of plasma P-tau217 to assess eligibility for amyloid-lowering immunotherapy in memory clinic patients with early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-07-06 Biomarkers

    Potential DMT candidates at Butler MAP (n = 50), primarily diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (n = 29 [58%]) or mild dementia (21 [42%]), were predominantly Aβ-positive (38 [76%]), and half (25 [50%]) were subsequently treated with aducanumab.

  5. Relationship between Plasma P-Tau217 and Amyloid PET in Racial and Ethnic Underrepresented Groups (RE-URG) Compared with Non RE-URG in LEARN and A4

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2024-01-01 Biomarkers

    These findings suggest that the relationship between plasma P-tau217 and PET SUVR is the same across race and ethnicity.

  6. Head-to-head comparison between plasma p-tau217 and flortaucipir-PET in amyloid-positive patients with cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-09-22 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau217 and cortical FTP-SUVR were correlated (r = 0.61, p < .001), especially in temporo-parietal and dorsolateral frontal cortices.
