Tens of millions of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams are
performed annually around the world. The contrast agents, which improve diagnostic …

Mn (III) porphyrins have great potential as Gd-free MRI contrast agents because both the
cation and the ligand have interesting properties. The redox properties of the Mn (III)-ion can …

In cell therapy, contrast agents T1 and T2 are both needed for the labeling and tracking of
transplanted stem cells over extended periods of time through magnetic resonance imaging …

Gadolinium (III)-based contrast agents (GBCAs) play a dominant role in contrast enhanced
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and are used to improve the accuracy of diagnoses. In …

Cell tracking by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a collection of multiple
advantages over other imaging modalities, including high spatial resolution, unlimited depth …

MRI for non-invasive cell tracking is recognized for enabling pre-clinical research on stem
cell therapy. Yet, adoption of cellular imaging in stem cell research has been restricted to …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) are chemical compounds that can
enhance image contrast on T1-or T2-weighted MR image. We have previously …

In recent years, cell-based therapy, such as adoptive immunotherapy and stem cell
restorative therapy, was followed with interest. However, restricted understanding of the …

Noninvasive cell tracking in vivo has the potential to advance stem cell‐based therapies into
the clinic. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides an excellent image‐guidance …

Amide bonds are one of the most prevalent phenomena in nature and are utilized frequently
in drug and material design. However, forming amide bonds is not always efficient or high …
