In neurological disorders, HDACs change expression in regions throughout the brain, but their dynamic contribution to human disease development over time is unknown. Wey et al. therefore developed and applied an HDAC imaging probe, called Martinostat, to visualize HDAC expression in the living brain. Martinostat was previously tested in rodents and nonhuman primates, and here, it is used for the first time in humans.
