A paramagnetic chemical exchange-based MRI probe metabolized by cathepsin D: design, synthesis and cellular uptake studies.
Overexpression of the aspartyl protease cathepsin D is associated with certain cancers and Alzheimer's disease; thus, it is a potentially useful imaging biomarker for disease. A dual fluorescence/MRI probe for the potential detection of localized cathepsin D activity has been synthesized. The probe design includes both MRI and optical reporter groups connected to a cell penetrating peptide by a...

متن کاملDetection of Alzheimer\'s disease based on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain using support vector machine model
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common disorder of dementia, which has not been cured after its occurrence. AD progresses indiscernible, first destroy the structure of the brain and subsequently becomes clinically evident. Therefore, the timely and correct diagnosis of these structural changes in the brain is very important and it can prevent the disease or stop its progress. N...
متن کاملHippocampal Atrophy Studying in Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis Using Brain MRI Images
Background and Aim: For effective treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is important to accurately diagnosis of AD and its earlier stage, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). One of the most important approaches of early detection of AD is to measure atrophy, which uses various kinds of brain scans, such as MRI. The main objective of the current research was to provide a computerized diagnostic...
متن کاملDevelopment of Spontaneously Disassembling Dendrimers as a Platform Technology for PARACEST MRI Contrast Agents
PARACEST MRI contrast agents have been incorporated into nanocarriers to improve PARACEST sensitivity. Spontaneously disassembling dendrimers are nanocarriers can carry high payloads of chemotherapies to pathological tissues, and then rapidly release the chemotherapies during enzyme-triggered spontaneous disassembly of the dendrimers. To investigate whether a spontaneously disassembling systems...
