Magnetic resonance-guided, real-time targeted delivery and imaging of magnetocapsules immunoprotecting pancreatic islet cells
Article Abstract:
Magnetic resonance-trackable magnetocapsules are used simultaneously for immunoprotecting pancreatic [beta]-cells and for monitoring, non-invasively in real-time, hepatic delivery and engraftment by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results are applicable to the improvements in islet cell transplantation for human diabetes.

In vivo magnetic resonance imaging of acute brain inflammation using microparticles of iron oxide
Article Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging model which detects vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression in vivo in mouse brain inflammation is reported. The technology could be applied to monitor expression of endovascular molecules in vivo in various pathologies.
