Molecular imaging of macrophage cell death for the assessment of plaque vulnerability.
The ability to identify atherosclerotic plaques that are prone to rupture, also called vulnerable plaques, may provide a major step forward in the recognition of patients that have a high risk of developing acute myocardial infarction. Current clinical risk profiling algorithms, such as the Framingham and Procam risk scores, have reasonable predictive value in the assessment of the 10 year risk...
متن کاملI-55: Molecular Imaging Overview
Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...
متن کاملRecent advances in the molecular imaging of programmed cell death: part I--pathophysiology and radiotracers.
In humans, apoptosis (programmed cell death) is the most common form of cell death after necrosis. Apoptosis is a series of genetically preprogrammed biochemical and morphologic energy-requiring events that, after a specific external or internal stimulus, results in the physiologic disappearance of a cell via its self-disintegration and packaging of its contents into membrane vesicles called ap...
متن کاملMolecular imaging of neurovascular cell death in experimental cerebral stroke by PET.
UNLABELLED Clinical molecular imaging of apoptosis is a highly desirable yet unmet challenge. Here we provide the first report on (18)F-labeled 5-fluoropentyl-2-methyl-malonic acid ((18)F-ML-10), a small-molecule, (18)F-labeled PET tracer for the imaging of apoptosis in vivo; this report includes descriptions of the synthesis, radiolabeling, and biodistribution of this novel apoptosis marker. W...
متن کاملNoninvasive Molecular Imaging of Cell Death in Myocardial Infarction using 111In-GSAO
Acute insult to the myocardium is associated with substantial loss of cardiomyocytes during the process of myocardial infarction. In this setting, apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis may operate on a continuum. Because the latter is characterized by the loss of sarcolemmal integrity, we propose that an appropriately labeled tracer directed at a ubiquitously present intracellular moie...
