TSPO in a murine model of Sandhoff disease: presymptomatic marker of neurodegeneration and disease pathophysiology

Translocator protein (18 kDa), formerly known as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), has been extensively used as a biomarker of active brain disease and neuroinflammation. TSPO expression increases dramatically in glial cells, particularly in microglia and astrocytes, as a result of brain...
