Molecular Imaging of Tumor Angiogenesis
Molecular imaging has recently been defined by the Society of Nuclear Medicine as ‘the visualization, characterization, and measurement of biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels in humans and other living systems’ (Mankoff 2007). It usually exploits specific labeled molecular probes, as well as intrinsic tissue characteristics as the source of image contrast, and uses a numbe...
متن کاملMR molecular imaging of aortic angiogenesis.
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to use magnetic resonance (MR) molecular imaging to 1) characterize the aortic neovascular development in a rat model of atherosclerosis and 2) monitor the effects of an appetite suppressant on vascular angiogenesis progression. BACKGROUND The James C. Russell:LA corpulent rat strain (JCR:LA-cp) is a model of metabolic syndrome characterized by obe...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of Angiogenesis in Cardiac Regeneration
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Myocardial infarction (MI) leading to heart failure displays an important cause of death worldwide. Adequate restoration of blood flow to prevent this transition is a crucial factor to improve long-term morbidity and mortality. Novel regenerative therapies have been thoroughly investigated within the past decades. RECENT FINDINGS Increased angiogenesis in infarcted myocardiu...
متن کاملMultimodality molecular imaging of tumor angiogenesis.
Molecular imaging is a key component of 21st-century cancer management. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor signaling pathway and integrin alpha v beta 3, a cell adhesion molecule, play pivotal roles in regulating tumor angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. This review summarizes the current status of tumor angiogenesis imaging with SPECT, PET, molecular MRI, ta...
متن کاملMolecular photoacoustic imaging of angiogenesis with integrin-targeted gold nanobeacons.
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) combines optical and acoustic imaging to generate high-resolution images of microvasculature. Inherent sensitivity to hemoglobin permits PAT to image blood vessels but precludes discriminating neovascular from maturing microvasculature. α(v)β(3)-Gold nanobeacons (α(v)β(3)-GNBs) for neovascular molecular PAT were developed, characterized, and demonstrated in vivo u...
