64Cu-Labeled LyP-1-Dendrimer for PET-CT Imaging of Atherosclerotic Plaque
Jai Woong Seo,Hyounggee Baek,Lisa M. Mahakian,Jiro Kusunose,Juliana Hamzah,Erkki Ruoslahti,Katherine W. Ferrara +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the (LyP- 1)4-dendrimer can be applied for in vivo PET imaging of plaque and that LyP-1 could be further exploited for the delivery of therapeutics with multivalent carriers or nanoparticles.

- 08 Sep 2008
TL;DR: In this paper, a peptide which home to cells, with high selectivity and which can be useful in the form of compositions, is presented, and methods of using the compositions for imaging, and targeting cells, e.g. PET imaging, for delivering a therapeutic agent to one or more target cells.

Fast, Low-Frequency Plane-Wave Imaging for Ultrasound Contrast Imaging
TL;DR: The results indicate that low-frequency imaging can provide better signal-to-noise because it generates stronger non-linear responses and could open the door to super-resolution imaging at depth, while high power pulses could be used for image-guided therapeutics.

Ultrasound Modulates Calcium Activity in Cultured Neurons, Glial Cells, Endothelial Cells and Pericytes.
Malachy Newman,Pratheepa Kumari Rasiah,Jiro Kusunose,Tonia S Rex,Anita Mahadevan-Jansen,Jacob Hardenburger,E. D. Jansen,Bryan Millis,Charles F. Caskey +8 more
TL;DR: The role of non-neuronal cells during FUS neuromodulation is highlighted, as all cell types are sensitive to mechanical ultrasound stimulation and rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to undergo ultrasound neuromodulation.

Quantitation of nanoparticle accumulation in flow using optimized microfluidic chambers
TL;DR: The aim is to develop VCAM-1-targeted nanoparticles that effectively accumulate on the endothelium under shear conditions and to develop robust microfluidic chambers able to house sufficient cells for flow cytometric measurements.
