Background: Tau-PET tracers allow for in vivo Braak staging of individuals in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum. The impact of tracers' characteristics for Braak staging using tau-PET remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a head-to-head comparison of Braak staging using first- and second-generation tau-PET tracers.

Background: We assessed the efficacy of four plasma phospho-tau217 (p-tau217) biomarkers in a head-to-head comparison, and against two clinically available CSF biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Method: Samples were analyzed from 1009 individuals from the Swedish BioFINDER-2 cohort (Table 1). We included the following biomarkers: %p-tau217, p-tau217 (both mass-spectrometry), p-tau217, p-tau217 (both immunoassays), CSF p-tau181 and p-tau181/Aβ42 (Elecsys).

Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory, The McGill University Research Centre for Studies in Aging, Montréal, QC, Canada.
Background: To evaluate the in vitro binding properties of [C]PiB and [F]NAV4694 head-to-head in post-mortem human brain tissue.
Method: Autoradiography was used to assess uptake of [C]PiB and [F]NAV4694 in control (CN) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) autopsy-confirmed brain tissues. The study focuses on the analysis of the prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus sections in 11 CN and 11 AD cases.

Background: Tau-PET is a diagnostic tool with high sensitivity and high specificity for discriminating Alzheimer Disease (AD) dementia from other neurodegenerative disorders in well-controlled research environments. The role of tau-PET in "real-world" clinical practice, however, remains to be established. We hypothesize that tau-PET will lead to some changes of the pre-PET clinical diagnosis and will improve diagnostic certainty and patient management in patients with considerable diagnostic uncertainty.

A similar approach can be employed to assess the biomarker potential of saliva EVs. A head-to-head comparison was conducted to characterize plasma and saliva EVs derived patients enrolled in the Nathan Shock Healthy Aging Study, where participants range in age from 30-70+ years, representing the full breadth of the healthy adult human age span.
