Quantitative detection of grey and white matter amyloid pathology using a combination of K114 and CRANAD-3 fluorescence

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that exacts a huge toll on the patient, the healthcare system and society in general. Abundance and morphology of protein aggregates such as amyloid β plaques and tau tangles, along with cortical atrophy and gliosis are used as...
