    The P2X7 receptor tracer [11C]SMW139 as an in vivo marker of neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis: a first-in man study

    The novel PET tracer [11C]SMW139 binds with high affinity to the P2X7 receptor, which is expressed on pro-inflammatory microglia. The purposes of this first in-man study were to characterise pharmacokinetics of [

    Imaging Histamine Receptors Using PET and SPECT

    The histaminergic system contains four subtypes of G-protein-coupled receptors: H1R, H2R, H3R and H4R. In the central nervous system, they mediate the action of histamine in pituitary hormone secretion, wakefulne...
