Depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology
Wiels, Wietse A.; Oomens, Julie E.; Engelborghs, Sebastiaan; Baeken, Chris; von Arnim, Christine A.F.; Boada, Mercè; Didic, Mira; Dubois, BrunoImportance: Depressive symptoms are associated with cognitive decline in older individuals. Uncertainty about underlying mechanisms hampers diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. This large-scale study aimed to elucidate the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology. Objective: To examine the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology and its dependency on age, sex, education...
The Central Biobank and Virtual Biobank of BIOMARKAPD: A Resource for Studies o...
Reijs, Babette L R; Teunissen, Charlotte E; Goncharenko, Nikolai; Betsou, Fay; Blennow, Kaj; Baldeiras, Inês; Brosseron, Frederic; Cavedo, EnricaBiobanks are important resources for biomarker discovery and assay development. Biomarkers for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (BIOMARKAPD) is a European multicenter study, funded by the EU Joint Programme-Neurodegenerative Disease Research, which aims to improve the clinical use of body fluid markers for the diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD).

Prevalence of cerebral amyloid pathology in persons without dementia
Jansen, Willemijn J.; Ossenkoppele, Rik; Knol, Dirk L.; Tijms, Betty M.; Scheltens, Philip; Verhey, Frans R. J.; Visser, Pieter Jelle; Aalten, PaulineImportance: Cerebral amyloid-β aggregation is an early pathological event in Alzheimer disease (AD), starting decades before dementia onset. Estimates of the prevalence of amyloid pathology in persons without dementia are needed to understand the development of AD and to design prevention studies. Objective: To use individual participant data meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of amyloid pathology as meas...
Validation of a quantitative cerebrospinal fluid alpha-synuclein assay in a Eur...
Kruse, Niels; Persson, Staffan; Alcolea, Daniel; Bahl, Justyna M.C.; Baldeiras, Ines; Capello, Elisabetta; Chiasserini, DavideDecreased levels of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in Parkinson's disease and related synucleinopathies have been reported, however, not consistently in all cross-sectional studies. To test the performance of one recently released human-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantification of aSyn in CSF, we carried out a round robin trial with 18 participating laborator...
