Newest firstTauopathies are a subclass of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by an accumulation of microtubule binding tau fibrils in brain regions. Diseases such as Alzheimer's (AD), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), Pick's disease (PiD), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) belong to this subclass. Development of tracers which can visualize and discriminate between different tauopathies is of clinical importance…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Alzheimer's disease is characterized by two main neuropathological hallmarks: extracellular plaques of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein and intracellular aggregates of tau protein. Although tau is normally a soluble monomer that bind microtubules, in disease it forms insoluble, hyperphosphorylated aggregates in the cell body. Aside from its role in AD, tau is also involved in several other neurodegenerative disor…
