Female sex is linked to a stronger association between sTREM2 and CSF p-tau in Alzheimer's disease.

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), Aβ triggers p-tau secretion, which drives tau aggregation. Therefore, it is critical to characterize modulators of Aβ-related p-tau increases which may alter AD trajectories. Here, we assessed whether factors known to alter tau levels in AD modulate the association between fibrillar Aβ and secreted p-tau
