Work at Beijing Normal University and affiliated organizations has led to the discovery and preclinical characterization of a novel tau-PET radiotracer for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Neuroinflammation is a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome has been associated with the pathogenesis of AD, therefore, targeting NLRP3 may help reduce neuroinflammation and slow down the progression of AD.

Bioarctic AB has entered into a global exclusive license agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb Co. for Bioarctic’s pyroglutamate-amyloid-β (Aβ) antibody program.
Over the past few decades, drugs for Alzheimer’s disease development have predominantly focused on targeting β-amyloid but have shown limited clinical efficacy.
Researchers at Stichting AMC Foundation and Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam have identified [18F]-labeled pyrazolidine-3,5-dione compounds targeting P2Y purinoceptor 12 (P2RY12; P2Y12) acting as PET and SPECT imaging agents. They are reported to be useful for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
