Cytokines are small proteins that directly regulate immune cell proliferation and signaling. An improved understanding of cytokine expression in specific microenvironments provides critical insights ...

RECIST was developed in 2000 by the National Cancer Institute, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, and National Cancer Institute of Canada, with revision to RECIST 1.1 in 2009 ...

Dr. Bernd Pichler is a distinguished pioneer in preclinical and translational imaging, renowned for his groundbreaking work in multimodal imaging and imaging tracer development. As chair of the ...

Large language models have become enormously powerful tools for summarizing existing knowledge and generating text, figures, and references for scientific publications. This power can be abused to ...

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) has become an attractive target for diagnosis and therapy, and a series of FAP inhibitor (FAPI)–based radiotracers has been developed and had excellent performance ...

Protein tyrosine kinase-7 (PTK7), a member of receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily initially identified as colon carcinoma kinase-4, is highly expressed in various human malignancies. Its expression ...

Quantitative PET imaging relies on accurate attenuation correction. Recently, there has been growing interest in combining state-of-the-art PET systems with MR imaging in a sequential or fully ...

The recent development of quinoline-based PET tracers that act as fibroblast-activation-protein inhibitors (FAPIs) demonstrated promising preclinical and clinical results. FAP is overexpressed by ...
