TL;DR: The EuroFlow studies resulted in validated and flexible 8-color antibody panels for multidimensional identification and characterization of normal and aberrant cells, optimally suited for immunophenotypic screening and classification of hematological malignancies.

TL;DR: The 6 years of extensive collaborative experiments and the analysis of hundreds of cell samples of patients and healthy controls have provided for the first time laboratory protocols and software tools for fully standardized 8-color flow cytometric immunophenotyping of normal and malignant leukocytes in bone marrow and blood; this has yielded highly comparable data sets, which can be integrated in a single database.

TL;DR: This paper performed a two-stage genome-wide association study with 111,326 clinically diagnosed/proxy AD cases and 677,663 controls and found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis.

TL;DR: When taking into account sensitivity, specificity and overall classification accuracy Random Forests and Linear Discriminant analysis rank first among all the classifiers tested in prediction of dementia using several neuropsychological tests.

TL;DR: The use of the proposed research criteria to identify Alzheimer's disease at the mild cognitive impairment stage and the use of both amyloid and neuronal injury markers as proposed by the National Institute of Ageing-Alzheimer Association criteria offers the most accurate prognosis are supported.
