DOI: 10.3390/molecules25102289
Abstract: Dysregulation of microtubules is commonly associated with several psychiatric and neurological disorders, including addiction and Alzheimer’s disease. Imaging of microtubules in vivo using positron emission tomography (PET) could provide valuable information on their role in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ph16040495
Abstract: Impairment and/or destabilization of neuronal microtubules (MTs) resulting from hyper-phosphorylation of the tau proteins is implicated in many pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. Increasing scientific evidence indicates that MT-stabilizing… read more here.
