Synergistic Effects of Plasma <i>p</i> ‐tau217 and GFAP on Neurodegeneration and Cognitive Decline in Cognitively Unimpaired Individuals
Plasma p-tau217 is associated with longitudinal neurodegeneration and cognitive decline even in CU individuals. The observed interaction with plasma GFAP may suggest an early role of astroglial reactivity in neurodegeneration, particularly in medial temporal lobe regions. These findings underscore the utility of plasma p-tau217 as a diagnostic tool and for stratifying high-risk individuals in preclinical Alzheimer's.
