Brain protein scan could unlock secrets of neurodegenerative diseases
NCT ID NCT07380204
First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests a new PET imaging tracer to measure levels of a protein called Hsp90 in the brain. Hsp90 helps proteins fold correctly, and problems with this process are linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS. Researchers will scan healthy volunteers and patients to see if Hsp90 levels differ and where in the brain changes occur. The goal is to develop a tool that could help create new treatments targeting Hsp90.
