Abstract
The reliable and dynamic detection of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) deposition using imaging technology is necessary for preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD), which may significantly improve prognosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of applying angiopep-2 (ANG), a chemical exchange saturation transfer-magnetic resonance imaging (CEST-MRI) biomarker, for monitoring Aβ deposition in vivo. ANG exerted a good chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) effect and displayed a moderate binding affinity to Aβ1-42 in vitro. Six-month-old mice with AD injected with ANG exhibited a significantly enhanced CEST effect than controls in vivo; this effect gradually became more apparent at 8, 10, and 12 months. Spatial learning impairment caused by abundant Aβ deposition (representing mild cognitive impairment in AD patients) develops at 12 months in APPswe/PSEN1dE9 (line 85) AD mice. To conclude, the CEST of ANG could display very earlier age-related Aβ pathological progress in mice with AD, consistent with immunohistochemistry. ANG has extraordinary potential for clinical transformation as an imaging biomarker to diagnose early AD and track its progress dynamically and nonradiationally.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
