Abstract
Accurately measuring brain inflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is crucial due to the role of inflammatory processes in neurodegeneration. In a recent study, Appleton, Finn, et al. used [11C]ER176, a novel translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO)-positron emission tomography (PET) tracer overcoming genotype-related binding issues, to show increased inflammation in early-onset AD, with patterns aligning more closely with tau pathology than amyloid deposition or atrophy.
由于炎症过程在神经变性中的作用,准确测量阿尔茨海默病(AD)的脑部炎症至关重要。在最近的一项研究中,Appleton、Finn 等人利用新型转运蛋白 18 kDa(TSPO)--正电子发射断层扫描(PET)示踪剂 [11C]ER176 克服了基因型相关的结合问题,显示了早发性 AD 中炎症的增加,其模式与 tau 病理学的关系比淀粉样蛋白沉积或萎缩更为密切。
