Clinical PET Imaging of Microglial Activation: Implications for Microglial Therapeutics in Alzheimer’s Disease
In addition to extracellular β-amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, neuroinflammation has been identified as a key pathological characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Once activated, neuroinflammatory cells called microglia acquire different activation phenotypes. At the e...
