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. Profiling Plasma Biomarkers, Particularly pTau217 and pTau217/Aβ42, and Their Relation to Cognition in Memory Clinic Patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2025-08-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by brain protein depositions, impaired synaptic transmission, and progressive cognitive decline.

  2. Clinical value of plasma ALZpath pTau217 immunoassay for assessing mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2024-10-16 Biomarkers

    Plasma pTau217 and pTau181 both correlate with AD, but the fold change in pTau217 makes it better to diagnose cerebral amyloidosis, and predict cognitive decline and conversion to AD dementia.

  3. Plasma pTau181 and pTau217 predict asymptomatic amyloid accumulation equally well as amyloid PET

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Brain communications 2024-05-23 Biomarkers

    These findings indicate that plasma pTau181, plasma pTau217 and amyloid-β PET convey overlapping information and therefore predict the dynamic phase of asymptomatic amyloid-β accumulation with comparable performances.
