Prediction of P-tau/Aβ42 in the cerebrospinal fluid with blood microRNAs in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Background The most common biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are amyloid β (Aβ) and tau, detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or with positron emission tomography imaging. However, these procedures are invasive and expensive, which hamper their availability to the general population....
