  1. Potential Utility of Plasma P-Tau and Neurofilament Light Chain as Surrogate Biomarkers for Preventive Clinical Trials

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Neurology 2023-03-06 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau181/NfL can potentially be used to monitor large-scale population interventions in CU individuals.

  2. Serum neurofilament light chain as a surrogate of cognitive decline in sporadic and familial frontotemporal dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. European journal of neurology 2021-09-03 Biomarkers

    Our findings highlight the potential of serum NfL as a useful surrogate end point of disease severity in upcoming targeted treatments.

  3. Characterization of Blood Surrogate Immune-Methylation Biomarkers for Immune Cell Infiltration in Chronic Inflammaging Disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in genetics 2019-11-27 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) and atherosclerosis are both chronic age- and inflammation-dependent diseases.

  4. Mobile Health, Information Preferences, and Surrogate Decision-Making Preferences of Family Caregivers of People With Dementia in Rural Hispanic Communities: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of medical Internet research 2018-12-10 Cognitive tests and assessment

    More women than men were in the patient group (χ 2 1 =17.2, P<.001) and in the caregiver group (χ 2 1 =22.2, P<.001).

  5. Platelet phosphorylated TDP-43: an exploratory study for a peripheral surrogate biomarker development for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Future science OA 2017-08-16 Biomarkers

    Platelet TDP-43 could be used as a surrogate biomarker that is measurable, reproducible and sensitive for screening the patients with some early clinical signs of AD and can be used to monitor disease prognosis.
