Massive paper alert: We performed extensive profiling of PI-2620 for 4R tauopathies. PI-2620 tau PET signals in PSP stem from neuronal and oligodendroglial tau, not astrocytes. Signals correlate with fibrillary tau, autoradiography, and autopsy data in PSP doi.org/10.1007/s00401…

Happy to share our new preprint led by Johannes Sebastian Gnörich and MatthiasBrendel, showcasing a full ATN staging approach using a single dynamic PI-2620 scan, leveraging advanced kinetic modelling techniques medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
