Discovery of the day
This study demonstrates that specific cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma tau species can serve as accessible fluid-based surrogates for tau positron emission tomography (PET) in Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that CSF C2N-eMTBR-tau243, MTBR/243-254, p-tau205, and p-tau217 exhibited the strongest correlations with [¹⁸F]GTP1 tau PET standardized uptake value ratios in prodromal to moderate AD subjects. For a neuroscientist developing preclinical models and biomarkers relevant to neurological and psychiatric conditions, these findings are directly actionable — they validate the use of fluid-based tau measures that could complement or replace expensive imaging in both research and clinical settings, potentially broadening the population in whom tau pathology can be assessed.
