Purpose Rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques are characterized by accumulation of
macrophages, which have shown to express somatostatin type 2 receptors. We aimed to …

Background This study evaluated the absorption, distribution, and excretion of Gallium-68 (
68 Ga) radionuclide after a single intravenous (iv) injection of 68 Ge/ 68 Ga generator eluate …

Introduction Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is an adhesion molecule, which upon
inflammation is rapidly translocated from intracellular sources to the endothelial cell surface. We …

Given the important role of inflammation and the potential association of the leukocyte
trafficking-associated adhesion molecule vascular adhesion protein 1 (VAP-1) with atherosclerosis…

Background Radiolabeled RGD peptides detect α v β 3 integrin expression associated with
angiogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling after myocardial infarction. We studied …

Folate receptor β (FR-β), a marker expressed on macrophages, is a promising target for imaging
of inflammation. Here, we report the radiosynthesis and preclinical evaluation of [ 68 Ga]…

Background: The expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2/9 (MMP-2/9) has been implicated
in arterial remodeling and inflammation in atherosclerosis. We evaluated a gallium-68 …

Objectives The bombesin derivative RM2 is a GRPr antagonist with strong binding affinity to
prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, the impact of [ 68 Ga]Ga-RM2 positron emission …

Shank-associated RH domain-interacting protein (SHARPIN) is a cytosolic protein that
plays a key role in activation of nuclear factor κ-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells and …

68 Ga labelled 2′-O-methyl oligoribonucleotides (anti-miR-15b) bearing one, three or seven
d-galactopyranoside residues have been prepared and their distribution in healthy rats …
