Brains, biases and amyloid beta: Why the female brain deserves a closer look in Alzheimer’s research

New results suggest the disease progresses differently in women, but we need more basic science to unpack the mechanisms involved.

Our new paper is out! We find that Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (but interestingly not estradiol or testosterone) shows sex specific associations with tau-PET burden in the Framingham Heart Study. In men, it seems to be protective (higher SHBG = lower tau) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We now have a blood biomarker that is even more strongly associated with tau PET and cognitive symptoms than even p-tau217! Plasma eMTBR-tau243 will help us to understand whether cognitive impairment is likely to be related to Alzheimer's pathology. #ENDALZ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
