In the largest imaging study measuring brain inflammation in patients with a neurological condition, we showed that, potentiated by Aβ, microglial activation is a key upstream event leading to tau propagation and cognitive decline in AD.#TRIAD_cohort

We are delighted to present our new blood-based p-tau217 biomarker assay developed in the Karikari Lab at the University of Pittsburgh!!!🎉. In addition to analytical validation, we benchmarked the performance of the new method against commercial p-tau217, showing similar.

New from our lab! 🧪✨ @LabPascoal .Led by my brilliant co-supervisor @BellaverBruna, this study shows that plasma GFAP can help enrich clinical trials in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease—cutting costs by up to 64% and identifying those most likely to show tau progression.
