Quantification of tau peptides in blood samples using a new mass spectrometry method suggests that individual phosphorylated tau peptides have distinct patterns of emergence in Alzheimer’s disease and differential associations with amyloid and tau pathologies. This method has the potential to stage patients along the disease continuum and for clinical trials.
