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. Effect of blood collection tube containing protease inhibitors on the pre-analytical stability of Alzheimer's disease plasma biomarkers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2024-05-30 Biomarkers

    The reliability of plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be compromised by protease-induced degradation.

  2. Effects of certain pre-analytical factors on the performance of plasma phospho-tau217

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-02-08 Biomarkers

    Centrifugation improved the performance of plasma p-tau217, but thawing temperatures and up to three freeze-thaw cycles did not have a significant impact.

  3. Cerebrospinal Fluid Aβ42/Aβ40 as a Means to Limiting Tube- and Storage-Dependent Pre-Analytical Variability in Clinical Setting

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    The use of Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio rather than Aβ42 alone could contribute toward pre-analytical standardization, thus allowing the general use of CSF AD biomarkers in routine practice.
