In the field of MR imaging and especially in the emerging field of cellular and molecular MR
imaging, flexible strategies to synthesize contrast agents that can be manipulated in terms of …

MRI detectable and targeted quantum dots were developed. To that aim, quantum dots were
coated with paramagnetic and pegylated lipids, which resulted in a relaxivity, r 1 , of nearly …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly used in clinical diagnostics, for a rapidly
growing number of indications. The MRI technique is non-invasive and can provide …

Modern medicine has greatly benefited from recent dramatic improvements in imaging
techniques. The observation of physiological events through interactions manipulated at the …

In oncological research, there is a great need for imaging techniques that specifically identify
angiogenic blood vessels in tumors on the basis of differences in the expression level of …

Pegylated paramagnetic and fluorescent immunoliposomes were designed to enable the
parallel detection of the induced expression of molecular markers on endothelial cells with …

Molecular imaging enables the non-invasive assessment of biological and biochemical
processes in living subjects. Such technologies therefore have the potential to enhance our …

Inflammation drives atherosclerotic plaque progression and rupture, and is a compelling
therapeutic target. Consequently, attenuating inflammation by reducing local macrophage …

A rat model was used to distinguish between the different factors that contribute to muscle
tissue damage related to deep pressure ulcers that develop after compressive loading. The …

Inducing graft acceptance without chronic immunosuppression remains an elusive goal in
organ transplantation. Using an experimental transplantation mouse model, we demonstrate …
