  1. Influence of cognitive impairment and race on plasma p-Tau217 in two diverse cohorts

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-02-01 Biomarkers

    Severity of cognitive impairment and race both influence plasma p-Tau 217 levels beyond race-associated differences in CSF p-Tau 181 .

  2. Plasma p-tau217 and neurofilament/p-tau217 ratio in differentiating Alzheimer's disease from syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 76 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-01-08 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau 217 and the NfL/p-tau 217 ratio are promising non-invasive biomarkers for differentiating AD from FTLD, suggesting their use as a potential alternative to traditional diagnostic methods.

  3. Plasma p-tau181 shows stronger network association to Alzheimer's disease dementia than neurofilament light and total tau

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2021-12-02 Biomarkers

    These results support plasma p-tau 181 for the detection of AD dementia and the use of blood-based biomarkers for optimal disease detection.

  4. RETRACTED: Deciphering the Potential Neuroprotective Effects of Luteolin against Aβ1-42-Induced Alzheimer's Disease

    ⚠ Retracted — do not rely on it alzhub usefulness score 16 out of 100. International journal of molecular sciences 2021-09-03 Biomarkers

    The current study was undertaken to unveil the protective effects of Luteolin, a natural flavonoid, against amyloid-beta (Aβ 1 - 42 )-induced neuroinflammation, amyloidogenesis, and synaptic dysfunction in mice.

  5. Synergistic Association between Plasma Aβ1-42 and p-tau in Alzheimer's Disease but Not in Parkinson's Disease or Frontotemporal Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. ACS chemical neuroscience 2021-04-07 Biomarkers

    Beta-amyloid (Aβ 1-42 ) triggers the phosphorylation of tau protein in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the relationship between phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and Aβ 1-42 in the blood is not elucidated.

  6. Diagnostic and prognostic value of serum NfL and p-Tau181 in frontotemporal lobar degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2020-07-01 Biomarkers

    The assessment of serum NfL and p-Tau 181 may provide a comprehensive view of FTLD, aiding in the differential diagnosis, in staging disease severity and in defining survival probability.

  7. Evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid phosphorylated tau231 as a biomarker in the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. CNS neuroscience & therapeutics 2018-02-17 Biomarkers

    These results indicate that FS (p-tau231 and MMSE) has a strong potential to provide an early distinction between AD and VaD.

  8. Overall, these results support the vervet as a non-human primate model of amyloid-related neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer's disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and highlight Aβ 1-40 and p-tau 181 as potentially valuable biomarkers of these processes.

  9. Alzheimer's disease biomarker-guided diagnostic workflow using the added value of six combined cerebrospinal fluid candidates: Aβ1-42, total-tau, phosphorylated-tau, NFL, neurogranin, and YKL-40

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 49 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2018-01-09 Biomarkers

    Novel and established cerebrospinal fluid markers perform with at least fair accuracy in the discrimination between ADD and FTD.
