Cancer and other acute and chronic diseases are results of perturbations of common
molecular determinants in key biological and signaling processes. Imaging is critical for …

Current advances in MRI techniques have enabled the noninvasive investigation of renal
disease. Further development, evaluation and application of the MRI techniques should …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensitivity approaches vessel specificity. We developed
a single-vessel functional MRI (fMRI) method to image the contribution of vascular …

Ferritin is a naturally occurring iron storage protein, proposed as a clinically relevant
nanoparticle with applications as a diagnostic and therapeutic agent. Cationic ferritin is a …

MRI can provide excellent detail of renal structure and function. Recently, novel MR contrast
mechanisms and imaging tools have been developed to evaluate microscopic kidney …

This review describes current gold-standard methods for estimating glomerular and
podocyte number, as well as methods developed in the past 3 years. We are now better …

Renal imaging is widely used in the assessment of surrogate markers of nephron mass
correlated to renal function. Autopsy studies have tested the validity of various imaging …

The kidney has an extraordinary ability to maintain glomerular filtration despite natural
fluctuations in blood pressure and nephron loss. This is partly due to local coordination …

Abstract A Wireless Amplified NMR Detector (WAND) with cylindrical symmetry has been
fabricated and non-surgically inserted into a rodent lower digestive track to improve the …

Purpose To improve the imaging quality of vessel walls with an endoesophageal Wireless
Amplified NMR Detector (WAND). Methods A cylindrically shaped double‐frequency …
