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.

  1. Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 is sensitive to early cerebral amyloid accumulation and predicts risk of cognitive decline across the Alzheimer's disease spectrum

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-12-23 Biomarkers

    Lumipulse plasma Aβ 42 /Aβ 40 is a scalable assay for detection of cerebral Aβ and prediction of risk for cognitive decline across the AD continuum.

  2. Sensitive label-free detection of the biomarker phosphorylated tau-217 protein in Alzheimer's disease using a graphene-based solution-gated field effect transistor

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Biosensors & bioelectronics 2023-03-11 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is generally diagnosed using advanced imaging, but recent research suggests early screening using biomarkers in peripheral blood is feasible; among them, plasma tau proteins phosphorylated at threonine 231, threonine 181, and threonine 217 (p-tau217) are potential targets.

  3. This nanostructured conductive interface favors penetration of water-soluble biomolecules and catalyzes a redox reaction, providing limits of detection (LOD) of 6.63 pg/mL for Aβ 40 and 3.74 pg/mL for Aβ 42 .

  4. The dynamic mechanism of presenilin-1 function: Sensitive gate dynamics and loop unplugging control protein access

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2016-02-04 Biomarkers

    There is no molecular explanation for the many presenilin 1 (PSEN1) mutations causing Alzheimer's disease, but both gain of function relating to amyloid production and loss of isolated PSEN1 function have been implied.
