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.

Multicenter 18F-PI-2620 PET for In Vivo Braak Staging of Tau Pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: 18F-PI-2620 PET appears to be able to perform Braak tau staging of AD in vivo, and could assign 87% to the six-stage hierarchical Braak model including tauopathy variants.

Dynamic nanoassemblies for imaging and therapy of neurological disorders

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the emerging field of dynamic nano-assemblies for neurological disorders is presented, where functional nanoparticles are used as building blocks in the construction of dynamic nanoparticles for NDs theranostics.

Tau imaging ligands and their uses in the diagnosis and treatment of tauopathy

TL;DR: In this article, antibody-based probes (including single domain antibody fragment, scFv molecules, antibodies, antibody fragments, diabodies, and the epitope-binding domains thereof) that are capable of immunospecifically and selectively binding to a phospho-serine-containing epitope of Tau, such as, for example, Tau-phosphoserine 396/404 peptide.

“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.

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.
