Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signalling plays a critical role in carcinogenesis and tumour development in several types of cancer. Therefore, we sought to evaluate a fluorescently ...

PURPOSE Cathepsin B (Cat B) is a cysteine lysosomal protease that is upregulated in many inflammatory diseases and widely expressed in the brain. Here, we used a Cat B activatable near-infrared (NIR) ...

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vergent Bioscience, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing tumor targeted imaging agents, announced new data being presented at the 2025 American Society of ...

In a significant leap forward for successful cancer surgery, researchers at the University of Missouri and collaborators have developed a new imaging probe to help surgeons more accurately identify ...

Researchers at Wayne State University and the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute have developed a chemical imaging probe that resists the breakdown of certain compounds in the body, giving doctors ...

Scientists used positron emission tomography (PET) with edaravone, a drug used to treat ALS, to detect oxidative stress, which leads to brain damage, offering a clear path to detecting neurological ...

Microendoscopes are the cornerstone of modern medical diagnostics - they allow us to see what we could not even describe two decades ago. The technology is constantly improving, with ICTER scientists ...

Constructing activatable organic phosphorescent probes through host guest strategies can be applied for time-resolved imaging at the cellular level, as well as afterglow imaging and viscosity ...

Fluorescent probes have reshaped how biologists study living systems, making it possible to watch viruses invade cells, follow the cell’s internal waste‑disposal machinery, and track the signaling ...

Researchers have created a flexible needle-like endoscopic imaging probe that can acquire 3D microscopic images of tissue. The bendability is possible thanks to a new flexible graded index (GRIN) lens ...
