  1. Plasma N-terminal containing tau fragments (NTA-tau): a biomarker of tau deposition in Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2024-02-17 Biomarkers

    However, because these biomarkers are strongly associated with the emergence of Aβ pathology, it is difficult to determine the contribution of insoluble tau aggregates to the plasma p-tau signal in blood.

  2. White Matter Degeneration Pathways Associated With Tau Deposition in Alzheimer Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Neurology 2023-04-17 Brain scans and imaging

    We found spatially dependent WM degeneration associated with regional flortaucipir SUVRs in Braak stages, suggesting a spatial pattern in WM damage.

  3. The association between white matter hyperintensities and amyloid and tau deposition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. NeuroImage. Clinical 2023-03-20 Brain scans and imaging

    As secondary analyses, we observed effects of age and sex differences, atrophy, cognitive scores, and APOE genotype.

  4. Initial levels of β-amyloid and tau deposition have distinct effects on longitudinal tau accumulation in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-02-07 Brain scans and imaging

    These findings offer novel perspectives to the design of AD clinical trials and aid in understanding the tau accumulation inside and outside MTL in AD.

  5. Role of tau deposition in early cognitive decline in Down syndrome

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2022-04-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Similar to late-onset and autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (AD), high tau was an indicator of early prodromal AD in DS.

  6. Association of entorhinal cortical tau deposition and hippocampal synaptic density in older individuals with normal cognition and early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2021-11-20 Brain scans and imaging

    Sites of early neuropathologic change provide important clues regarding the initial clinical features of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  7. Sex modifies APOE ε4 dose effect on brain tau deposition in cognitively impaired individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2021-11-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Recent studies in cognitively unimpaired elderly individuals suggest that the APOE ε4 allele exerts a dosage-dependent effect on brain tau deposition.

  8. Interactive rather than independent effect of APOE and sex potentiates tau deposition in women

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Brain communications 2021-06-07 Brain scans and imaging

    The apolipoprotein E gene ( APOE ) is the most important genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer disease, with the ε4 allele being associated with increased cerebral amyloid-β and tau pathologies.

  9. Association of enlarged perivascular spaces with Aβ and tau deposition in cognitively normal older population

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2020-12-19 Brain scans and imaging

    The relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) and Aβ and tau deposition is poorly investigated in cognitively normal older population.

  10. Visual contrast sensitivity is associated with the presence of cerebral amyloid and tau deposition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Brain communications 2020-02-26 Brain scans and imaging

    Visual deficits are common in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease.

  11. Sex modulates the ApoE ε4 effect on brain tau deposition measured by 18F-AV-1451 PET in individuals with mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Theranostics 2019-07-09 Brain scans and imaging

    After applying PVC and controlling for age, education level and global cortical 18 F-AV-45 SUVR, we found that the entorhinal cortex, amygdala, parahippocampal gyrus, posterior cingulate, and occipital ROIs exhibited a significant ApoE ε4 by sex interaction effect (false discovery rate P < 0.1) among MCI individuals.

  12. Memory concerns in the early Alzheimer's disease prodrome: Regional association with tau deposition

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2018-03-24 Brain scans and imaging

    Quantitative assessment of perceived memory functioning may be useful for screening older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease.
