  2. 1. Characterization of [18F]flutemetamol binding properties : A β-amyloid PET imaging ligand

    Author : Kerstin Heurling; Mark Lubberink; Jens Sörensen; Julie Price; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Positron emission tomography PET ; molecular imaging; amyloid; tracer validation; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : The criteria for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have recently been revised to include the use of biomarkers for the in vivo presence of β-amyloid, one of the neuropathological hallmarks of AD. Examples of such biomarkers are positron emission tomography (PET) β-amyloid specific ligands, including [18F]flutemetamol. READ MORE

  4. 2. Multimodal Chemical Imaging of Amyloid Plaque Pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease

    Author : Wojciech Michno; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; beta-amyloid; electron microscopy; imaging mass spectrometry; lipids; luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes; matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry MALDI-MS ; molecular imaging; nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry NanoSIMS ; neurodegeneration; peptides;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. AD has been linked to the aggregation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides into extracellular deposits, Aβ plaques. These are also found in cognitively unimpaired amyloid-positive (CU-AP) individuals, but these Aβ plaques are primarily diffuse in structure. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development of MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging Methods for Probing Spatial Lipid Biochemistry of Amyloid Plaques in Alzheimer's Disease

    Author : Ibrahim Kaya; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Lipids; Amyloid plaques; Mass spectrometry imaging; MALDI; Trimodal MALDI; Static MALDI; Dual polarity MALDI-MSI on the same pixel points; Neurodegeneration; Immunopathology; Amyloid peptides; APOE; Myelin; Sulfatides; 5xFAD; tgSwe; tgArcSwe; APP;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent cause of neurodegenerative dementia. Aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides into extracellular Aβ plaques is one of the major neuropathological features of AD. READ MORE

  6. 4. Preclinical PET imaging of Alzheimer's disease progression

    Author : Xiaotian T. Fang; Stina Syvänen; Dag Sehlin; Lars Lannfelt; Merja Haaparanta-Solin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; transgenic mice; PET; antibody-based tracer; mGluR5; ABP688; di-scFv; amyloid-β;

    Abstract : Amyloid PET imaging with [11C]PIB enabled detection of Aβ for the first time in vivo. However, [11C]PIB is a small molecule that binds only the insoluble Aβ plaque. Rather, the soluble Aβ aggregates are considered the cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). READ MORE

  7. 5. Amyloid Maturation Patterns in Alzheimer's Disease - Novel chemical imaging of Aβ and Tau pathology

    Author : Srinivas Koutarapu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amyloid β; Neurofibrillary Tangles; matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging MALDI-MSI ; luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes; Alzheimer’s Disease; Neurodegeneration;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounts for approximately 70% of dementia cases in Sweden. It can be of genetic origin i.e. familial form (fAD), sporadic form (sAD). READ MORE
