  1. Cryptic Sites in Tau Fibrils Explain the Preferential Binding of the AV-1451 PET Tracer toward Alzheimer's Tauopathy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. ACS chemical neuroscience 2021-06-21 Brain scans and imaging

    In contrast, tau tracer AV-1451 is reported to bind to specific types of tau fibrils (in particular to AD-associated and CTE) with higher binding affinity and only show nonspecific or weaker binding toward tau fibrils dominant with 3R isoforms (associated with PiD).

  2. Clearance of amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's disease: shifting the action site from center to periphery

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2014-04-15 Treatments

    Amyloid-beta (Aβ) is suggested to play a causal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Predicting sites of new hemorrhage with amyloid imaging in cerebral amyloid angiopathy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Neurology 2012-07-11 Brain scans and imaging

    Our results provide direct evidence that new CAA-related hemorrhages occur preferentially at sites of increased amyloid deposition and suggest that PiB-PET imaging may be a useful tool in prediction of incident hemorrhages in patients with CAA.
