In Vivo Optical Imaging of Amyloid Aggregates in Brain: Design of Fluorescent Markers

Routine diagnostics and studies of Alzheimer's disease might benefit form the noninvasive optical imaging of amyloid‐β plaques in the brain. A rational design strategy for in vivo amyloid‐imaging agents that enter the brain and selectively stain amyloid plaques is presented (see picture), and p...

Zusammenfassung:Routine diagnostics and studies of Alzheimer's disease might benefit form the noninvasive optical imaging of amyloid‐β plaques in the brain. A rational design strategy for in vivo amyloid‐imaging agents that enter the brain and selectively stain amyloid plaques is presented (see picture), and properties of a promising lead biomarker candidate are reported.
