In vivo detection of cFos-GFP for neural activation via Magnetization Transfer Contrast (MTC) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
overlay (short axis view) from a cFos-GFP mouse exposed to a dehydration protocol normalized to control. We collected 3D MTC datasets before the dehydration protocol and also 2 hours after dehydration for one control and one cFos-GFP mouse. The bright areas correspond with increased MTR in cFos-GFP mice in comparison to control. In this case, we observed an increase in the hypothalamic PVN (red...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of GFP through magnetization transfer contrast (MTC)
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a widely utilized molecular marker of gene expression. However, its use in in vivo imaging has been restricted to transparent tissue mainly due to the tissue penetrance limitation of optical imaging. Here, we report a novel approach to detect GFP with Magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MTC is an MRI methodology currently ut...
متن کاملSynthesis and evaluation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles as MRI contrast agent
Magnetic nanoparticles are the good choice for using in MRI as the contrast agent. Iron oxide particles such as magnetite (Fe3O4) or its oxidized form maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) are the most commonly employed in biomedical applications. In this study, we synthesized and optimized the preparation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles (CMn-Fe nps) and evaluated its ability for the mice macrophage ...

متن کاملAnalytical determination of the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast in molecular magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance based on molecular imaging allows tracing contrast agents thereby facilitating early diagnosis of diseases in a non-invasive fashion that enhances the soft tissue with high spatial resolution. Recently, the exchange of protons between the contrast agent and water, known as the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) effect, has been measured by applying a suitable pulse ...
