  1. Neurofilament protein in cerebrospinal fluid: a marker of white matter changes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuroscience research 2001-11-01 Biomarkers

    The objective of this study was to compare cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the light subtype of the neurofilament proteins (NFL), tau, and beta-amyloid42 (Abeta42) in individuals with moderate or severe white matter changes (WMC) and in those with mild or no WMC.

  2. Cerebrospinal fluid markers for Alzheimer's disease evaluated after acute ischemic stroke

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2000-11 Tau biomarkers

    Potential cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) include tau protein, the 42 amino-acid form of amyloid beta (amyloid beta(1-42)) and apolipoprotein E (apoE).

  3. X-34, a fluorescent derivative of Congo red: a novel histochemical stain for Alzheimer's disease pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The journal of histochemistry and cytochemistry : official journal of the Histochemistry Society 2000-09-01 Drug development

    X-34, a lipophilic, highly fluorescent derivative of Congo red, was examined as a histochemical stain for pathological changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease: Their Role in Clinical Chemistry

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. EJIFCC 2000-03-21 Tau biomarkers

    In view of current (AChE inhibitors) and future (e.g. anti-Aβ aggregators), development and evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a rapidly growing research field.

  5. Correlation between elevated levels of amyloid beta-peptide in the brain and cognitive decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. JAMA 2000-03-01 Brain tissue and pathology

    In this study, levels of total A(beta)x-40 and A(beta)x-42 were elevated early in dementia and levels of both peptides were strongly correlated with cognitive decline.

  6. Three-year follow-up of cerebrospinal fluid tau, beta-amyloid 42 and 40 concentrations in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2000-02-18 Tau biomarkers

    Earlier studies have shown elevated levels of tau protein and decreased levels of amyloid beta42 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  7. Longitudinal stability of CSF tau levels in Alzheimer patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Biological psychiatry 1999-09-15 Tau biomarkers

    Despite significant changes in the clinical measures consistent with progression of the disease, no significant overall change in CSF tau levels (548 +/- 355 vs. 557 +/- 275 pg/mL, NS) was observed.

  8. Tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid: a new diagnostic and prognostic marker in Alzheimer disease?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Alzheimer disease and associated disorders 1998-09 Tau biomarkers

    Tau is the main protein of paired helical filaments.

  9. EEG slowing and cerebrospinal fluid tau levels in patients with cognitive decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neuroreport 1998-01-05 Tau biomarkers

    We explored the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau levels as indirect markers of tau-related pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and EEG slowing, a typical neurophysiological finding in the disease.

  10. Reduction of beta-amyloid peptide42 in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Annals of neurology 1995-10-01 Tau biomarkers

    In this clinical study the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) level of a novel form of the beta-amyloid peptide (A beta) extending to position 42 (A beta 42) was determined in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) as well as controls.

  11. Tau protein concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 1995-09 Tau biomarkers

    Tau protein concentrations were measured in the CSF of 23 patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), 36 patients with multi-infarct dementia (MID), and 23 control subjects.

  12. Tau, paired helical filaments and amyloid in the neocortex: a morphometric study of 15 cases with graded intellectual status in aging and senile dementia of Alzheimer type

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 1989-01-01 Drug development

    Tau immunoreactivity was studied in temporal neocortex, area 22, in 15 cases with graded intellectual status and compared with the immunoreactivity observed with an antiserum against paired helical filaments (PHF) and with the density of amyloid revealed by thioflavin S. Samples came from women over 75 years either intellectually normal or affected by senile dementia of the Alzheimer type at various degrees of severity.
