Imaging the adolescent heart

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an accurate method for determining the heart’s architecture, function, and tissue makeup. There aren’t many studies that provide CMR reference levels for adolescents, though. A new study by the scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), aims to provide sex-specific CMR reference values for biventricular and atrial dimensions

Imaging Pinpoints Markers of Anxiety Related to Parkinson’s

The insula and frontal cortex are involved in the development of anxiety in adults with Parkinson’s disease, according to imaging data from 108 individuals.  Anxiety occurs in approximately 31% of Parkinson’s disease patients, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood, wrote Nacim Betrouni, MD, of the University of Lille, France, and colleagues. Previous research…

Optical imaging highlights metabolic interactions that make pancreatic tumor cells grow

Representative NAD(P)H fluorescence intensity images of pancreatic cancer cells cultured as 3D organoids (shown in magenta) and PSC non-cancer cells (shown in cyan) from cocultures obtained on days 1 through 4 (top). The corresponding optical redox ratio from the same images is also shown (bottom). Credit: Morgridge Institute for Research Pancreatic cancer is a rare,…
