The biodistribution of approved gadolinium (Gd)‐based contrast agents (GBCAs) is
reviewed. After intravenous injection GBCAs distribute in the blood and the extracellular …

The efficacy of islet transplantation is limited by poor graft vascularization. We herein
demonstrated that microvesicles (MVs) released from endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) …

There is a crucial need for noninvasive assessment tools after cell transplantation. This
study investigates whether a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) strategy could be clinically …

During the past two decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a powerful
technique in clinical diagnosis and biological molecular imaging.[1–4] A signficant …

The excellent molecular recognition, programmable and biocompatible properties make
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) a kind of material widely used in biomedical field. DNA …

Background: The success of many cell-based therapies is highly dependent on the accurate
delivery, dosing and trafficking of the cellular therapeutic. In vivo magnetic resonance (MR) …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been applied to many aspects of functional and
molecular imaging. Many of the parameters used to produce image contrast in MRI are …

Purpose We developed a mouse model that enables non-invasive assessment of changes
in β cell mass. Procedures We generated a transgenic mouse expressing luciferase under …

Insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with a complex
multifactorial etiology and a poorly understood pathogenesis. Genetic and environmental …

In recent years, numerous Gd3+‐based contrast agents have been developed to enable
target‐specific MR imaging of in vivo processes at the molecular level. The combination of …
