There is great interest to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for non-invasive assessment
of myocardial disease in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Recently, there …

Several methods are available for non-invasive imaging of gene delivery and transgene
expression, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission tomography (…

Rhizobium etli CFN42 is a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium of the common bean Phaseolus
vulgaris. The symbiotic plasmid p42d of R. etli comprises a gene encoding a putative (…

Background— For clinically relevant proangiogenic therapy, it would be essential that the
growth of the whole vascular tree is promoted. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is …

The regenerative potential of stem cells from various sources has been under intense
investigation in the experimental models of cerebral ischemia. To end up with a restorative …

A new method to measure rotating frame relaxation and to create contrast for MRI is introduced.
The technique exploits relaxation along a fictitious field (RAFF) generated by amplitude‐ …

Apoptosis plays an important role in cancer. Mechanisms hindering its action are implicated
in a number of malignancies. Also, the induction of apoptosis plays a pivotal role in non-…

Spin relaxation taking place during radiofrequency (RF) irradiation can be assessed by
measuring the longitudinal and transverse rotating frame relaxation rate constants (R 1ρ and R …

Objectives: In thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) of the ascending aorta (AA), AA is progressively
dilating due to the weakening of the aortic wall. Predicting and preventing aortic …

The present study investigated effects of human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) cells on
sensorimotor, cognitive, and histological outcome in rats subjected to transient middle cerebral …
