Exploring Applications of the ALZpath pTau217 Assay:
Insights from Research Studies
Sleep Quality and pTau217
Ashley Price
et al.
University of Rhode Island
Price et al. explored the relationship between sleep quality and pTau217 in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild Alzheimer's Disease (AD). They found that poorer sleep quality correlated with increased pTau217 levels, suggesting a link between sleep and tau pathology.
pTau217 as an Early Plasma Marker for Alzheimer's Dementia
Luca Kleineida et al.
German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Kleineida et al. investigated the capacity for pTau217 to predict Alzheimer's dementia in older primary care patients. Their findings demonstrated that elevated pTau217 is strongly associated with conversion to Alzheimer's dementia up to eight years later, surpassing the performance of other biomarkers for AD.
Detection of pTau217 in Tear Fluid
Guglielmo Di Molfetta et al.
University of Gothenburg
Di Molfetta et al. detected pTau217 in tear fluid, highlighting the potential of tear fluid as a non-invasive biofluid for biomarker assessment in neurodegenerative disorders.
