🔬 New work publication in Molecular Psychiatry!
In >2,000 BioFINDER participants, we show that CSF p-tau205 tracks Alzheimer’s disease progression and could contribute to biological staging, emerging later than Aβ42/40 and p-tau217 and closer to neocortical tau pathology.

📢 New preprint from BioFINDER, led by @karlssonlinda1!
We trained a deep learning model to generate synthetic tau-PET 3D scans from more accessible data: structural MRI, plasma p-tau217, and age. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.06.26352540v1

New paper in @GreenJournal! We investigated whether future AD dementia can be predicted in individuals with subjective cognitive decline. We found that plasma p-tau217, cognitive testing, and APOE ε4 status accurately identify those at highest risk. https://www.neurology.org/doi/pdf/10.1212/WNL.0000000000214983

New publication out in Brain! 📢We developed a data-driven multimodal biomarker framework to characterize a memory clinic cohort based on the presence, extent, and sequence of common pathologies. This framework may support diagnosis and trial selection.

📢New in The Lancet Neurology!
We validate a two-step blood test for Alzheimer’s disease:
1️⃣ plasma %p-tau217 identifies amyloid-β pathology
2️⃣ plasma eMTBR-tau243 assesses whether AD pathology is causing clinical symptoms

New BioFINDER preprint!
We formalise the Aβ–tau–neurodegeneration (ATN) framework into a mechanism-based model of AD, enabling us to simulate longitudinal imaging biomarkers and study how disease processes evolve and interact across the AD continuum.

5⃣ In conclusion, our results support the clinical utility of plasma p-tau217 as stand-alone tool for identifying preclinical AD but adding confirmatory CSF/PET would further improve PPVs as needed in many clinical applications.
