This new PET tracer compound, SMBT-1, focuses on astrocytes, which are the most abundant cell type in the brain, even more abundant than neurons. The tracer is able to selectively detect activated astrocytes, which may be a marker of undesirable brain inflammation which precedes cognitive deterioration.
