Newly developed radio-labeled molecule enables real-time imaging of innate immune activity
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new radio-labeled molecule capable of selectively reacting with certain high-energy radicals that are characteristic of innate immune activity, which may allow a non-invasive approach to monitor inflammation in real time by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
The preclinical study, published today in Nature Biotechnology, takes advantage of...
