TLDR
First human brain images with [F18]-T808, a novel PHF-tau targeting PET imaging agent with different pharmacokinetic characteristics, are described, which may be favorable for imaging Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies.
Abstract
Aggregates of hyperphosphorylated tau (PHF-tau), such as neurofibrillary tangles, are linked to the degree of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease. We have recently reported early clinical results of a novel PHF-tau targeting PET imaging agent, [F18]-T807. Since then, we have investigated a second novel PHF-tau targeting PET imaging agent, [F18]-T808, with different pharmacokinetic characteristics, which may be favorable for imaging Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. Here, we describe the first human brain images with [F18]-T808.

Tau and Amyloid Positron Emission Tomography Imaging Predict Driving Performance Among Older Adults with and without Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: Participants at Stage 2 (positive amyloid and tau scans) of preclinical AD were more likely to receive a marginal/fail rating compared to participants at Stage 0 or 1, which may manifest in worse driving performance.

PET Radioligands for Imaging of Tau Pathology: Current Status

TL;DR: This review focuses on lead radioligands developed to date and their preclinical data in order to facilitate the development of tau-specific positron emission tomography radiolIGands that are of great interest to the scientific community.

Neuroinflammation and protein aggregation co-localize across the frontotemporal dementia spectrum.

TL;DR: In vivo findings indicate a close association between neuroinflammation and protein aggregation in frontotemporal dementia and the inflammatory component may be important in shaping the clinical and neuropathological patterns of the diverse clinical syndromes of frontotmporal dementia.

Amyloid-β and tau pathologies relate to distinctive brain dysconnectomics in preclinical autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution graph-based network analyses were used to test whether in vivo amyloid-{beta} and tau burden related to segregation and integration of functional brain connections, and their association with memory, in cognitively-unimpaired Presenilin-1 E280A carriers who will develop early-onset AD dementia.

Tau PET Imaging.

TL;DR: A novel radiocompound developed by the research group has been shown to produce high contrasts for AD and non-AD tau aggregates, potentially allowing diagnostic evaluations of diverse tauopathies on an individual basis.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

Neuropathological stageing of Alzheimer-related changes.

TL;DR: The investigation showed that recognition of the six stages required qualitative evaluation of only a few key preparations, permitting the differentiation of six stages.

Neurofibrillary tangles but not senile plaques parallel duration and severity of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The severity of dementia was positively related to the number of NFTs in neocortex, but not to the degree of SP deposition, and N FTs accumulate in a consistent pattern reflecting hierarchic vulnerability of individual cytoarchitectural fields.

Staging of Alzheimer disease-associated neurofibrillary pathology using paraffin sections and immunocytochemistry.

TL;DR: To better meet the demands of routine laboratories this procedure is revised here by adapting tissue selection and processing to the needs of paraffin-embedded sections and by introducing a robust immunoreaction (AT8) for hyperphosphorylated tau protein that can be processed on an automated basis.
