You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Plasma phosphorylated tau181 predicts cognitive and functional decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2022-12-14 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau181 differentiates AD pathology cases from NC with high accuracy.

  2. Ante-mortem plasma phosphorylated tau (181) predicts Alzheimer's disease neuropathology and regional tau at autopsy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2022-10-01 Biomarkers

    Blood-based biomarkers such as tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (phosphorylated-tau181) represent an accessible, cost-effective and scalable approach for the in vivo detection of Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology.

  3. Associations of plasma phosphorylated tau181 and neurofilament light chain with brain amyloid burden and cognition in objectively defined subtle cognitive decline patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. CNS neuroscience & therapeutics 2022-09-08 Biomarkers

    Our findings highlight that plasma p-tau181, alone or combined with NfL, contributes to identifying high-risk AD populations.

  4. Elevated Plasma Phosphorylated Tau 181 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2022-08-17 Biomarkers

    We found strong evidence that plasma p-tau 181 is elevated in ALS and may be a novel marker specific to LMN dysfunction.

  5. Objective subtle cognitive decline and plasma phosphorylated tau181: Early markers of Alzheimer's disease-related declines

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2021-10-14 Biomarkers

    Despite assumptions that cognitive changes invariably follow biomarker changes, early neuropsychological difficulties may emerge before/concurrently with plasma p-tau181 changes.
