The introduction of spectral CT imaging in the form of fast clinical dual-energy CT enabled contrast material to be differentiated from other radiodense materials, improved lesion detection in contrast-enhanced scans,...

Background: Low levels of HDL-C are an independent cardiovascular risk factor associated with increased premature cardiovascular death. However, HDL-C therapies historically have been limited by issues relating to immunogenicity, hepatotoxicity...

Objectives: Metal-containing nanoparticles show great promise as x-ray contrast media and could enable reduced radiation dose, increased contrast, and the visualization of smaller anatomic features. In this study, we report...

Tantalum oxide nanoparticles show great potential as the next generation of X-ray contrast media. Recently, we reported advances in tantalum oxide nanoparticles and identified improvements that were required for such...

Microglial activation is emerging as an important etiologic factor and therapeutic target in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases. Techniques have been lacking, however, for measuring the different components of microglial activation...

In vivo measurements of protein synthesis using isotope-labeled amino acids (AAs) are hampered by the heterogeneity of AA pools and, for slow turnover proteins, the difficulty and expense of long-term...
