Happy to see this massive collaboration out covering 12 different cohorts including almost 3,000 cognitively unimpaired individuals.
Plasma p-tau217 can be used to detect preclinical Alzheimer’s, but positive predictive values increase if +ve results are confirmed with CSF or PET

Excited to share our review on the latest developments in neuroimaging in #Alzheimer’s disease .

Great resource to be up to date!

New Blood Test Could Personalize Alzheimer's Treatment Like Never Before A new Alzheimer's blood test may reveal how far the disease has progressed and identify who's most likely to benefit from anti-amyloid therapies.

A next-generation blood test could personalize Alzheimer's treatment by revealing disease progression—not just diagnosis.

BrightFocus Foundation grant recipient, Dr. Gemma Salvadó, helped validate this test to identify ideal candidates for anti-amyloid therapies.

New paper published today in @nataging.nature.com !
This one took some time but it's always a pleasure working hand in hand with Laia Montoliu-Gaya and the Gothenburg team. Thanks also to the McGill group for also collaborating with TRIAD data.

Powerful words from Cliff Jack as he accepted his lifetime achievement award.
We must protect and carry forward our longitudinal cohorts as they are the key to unlocking the mysteries of #Alzheimer’s.

Yesterday, @anikawuestefeld.bsky.social brilliantly defended her PhD thesis on the fole of MTL in Alzheimer’s disease.
It was a brilliant discussion with @jmschott.bsky.social between peers.
Congratulations Dr. Wuestefeld! You did a great job👏👏👏

Huge development towards a precise and scalable diagnosis of #Alzheimer's disease.

Plasma MTBR-tau243 is more strongly associated with aggregated tau pathology and cognitive function than 🩸 p-tau217. Suggesting similar results than tau-PET with significantly lower costs and burden for patients
