As described in more detail in other contributions in this issue of Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has become one of the most promising molecular targets in nuclear medicine. Due to its overexpression on prostate cancer cells in proportion to the stage and grade of tumour progression, especially in androgen-independent, advanced and metastatic disease, various tracers for the detection and treatment of prostate cancer by means of radioligand imaging, radioligand therapy or radioguided surgery have been developed and transferred to clinical applications. Even though monoclonal antibodies were investigated and introduced as first PSMA-targeted probes, the inherent advantage of fast tumour uptake and rapid excretion of small molecules has shifted the research focus during the last decade to low molecular weight inhibitors with high affinity to PSMA, such as [F]FDCFPyL, [F]PSMA-1007, [Ga]PSMA-HBED, [Lu]PSMA-617, [Lu]PSMA-I&T, [Tc]MIP-1404 or [Tc]PSMA I&S, to mention only a few. Due to the plethora of such PSMA probes described during the last years, this review aims to give an overview over the specific characteristics of those radiopharmaceuticals that have already found widespread clinical application. In addition, recently introduced concepts such as PSMA-tracers with increased plasma protein binding, are discussed.

Background: Our previous research demonstrated that growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) exhibited superior predictive capability for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) development with an AUC of 0.86 at 10 years before disease diagnosis. However, the specific pathways and molecular mechanisms associated with GDF15 expression during MASH development remain to be fully investigated in humans.

Background: Beyond the use of conventional short-lived PET radionuclides, there is a growing interest in tracking larger biomolecules and exploring radiotheranostic applications. One promising option for imaging medium-sized molecules and peptides is ⁵⁵Co (T₁/₂ = 17.5 h, β⁺ = 76%), which enables imaging of new and already established tracers with blood circulation of several hours.

Purpose: This study evaluated the differences in amyloid-β (Aβ), tau deposition, and longitudinal tau deposition between subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and objective subtle cognitive difficulties (Obj-SCD).
Methods: Participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort (n = 234) and the Huashan cohort (n = 267) included individuals with Obj-SCD, SCD, subjective memory concern (SMC), and healthy controls (HC). General linear models (GLM) were used to compare baseline and longitudinal differences in Aβ and tau among the groups, and to examine the associations between these biomarkers.

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of interim [F]Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([F]FDG PET/CT) after immunotherapy-based systemic therapies in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL).
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively recruited 133 newly diagnosed nasal-type ENKTL patients who underwent interim [F]FDG PET/CT scans after 2-4 cycles of immunotherapy-based treatments. Interim PET/CT was interpreted by maximum standardized uptake value (SUV), Deauville 5-point scale (DS), and early treatment response.
