Molecular imaging has witnessed a tremendous change over the last decade. Growing
interest and emphasis are placed on this specialized technology represented by developing …

Molecular imaging enables the non-invasive assessment of biological and biochemical
processes in living subjects. Such technologies therefore have the potential to enhance our …

The need to study dynamic biologic processes in intact small-animal models of disease has
stimulated the development of high-resolution nuclear imaging methods. These methods are …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously generated gaseous transmitter, which has
recently been suggested to regulate cardiovascular functions. The present study aims to …

Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers adverse ventricular remodeling (VR), cardiac fibrosis, and
subsequent heart failure. Extracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (eNAMPT) is …

Apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis (uncontrolled cell death) are two distinct
processes of cell death that have been described. Non-invasive molecular imaging of these …

Successful treatment of cancer patients requires balancing of the dose, timing, and type of
therapeutic regimen. Detection of increased cell death may serve as a predictor of the …

Abstract Aims Mono-[123I] iodohypericin ([123I] MIH) has been reported to have high avidity
for necrosis. In the present study, by using rabbit models of acute myocardial infarction, we …

Cell death plays a prominent role in the treatment of cancer, because most anticancer
therapies act by the induction of cell death including apoptosis, necrosis, and other …

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains the most severe and common cardiac emergency
among various ischaemic heart diseases. Both unregulated (necrosis) and regulated …
