Abstract:Tau is one of the characteristic deposits in Alzheimer's Disease which occurs in neurofibrillary tangles within neurons. Positron-emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear imaging technique, making it possible to detect tau aggregation in AD in vivo, thereby helping to pre-diagnose and trace disease progression. Up to now, many tau tracers have been developed. For example, the first generation tau tracer [ 18 F]AV-1451 and [ 18 F]THK-5351 developed by our group displayed strong uptake in patients' brains.
