Elasto-optical refractive index modulation due to photoacoustic initial pressure transients
produced significant reflection of a probe beam when the absorbing interface had an …

A novel class of all‐organic nanoscale porphyrin nanodroplet agents is presented which is
suitable for multimodality ultrasound and photoacoustic molecular imaging. Previous …

Photoacoustic imaging is an emerging hybrid imaging technology capable of breaking
through resolution limits of pure optical imaging technologies imposed by optical-scattering to …

Reporter genes are useful scientific tools for analyzing promoter activity, transfection
efficiency, and cell migration. The current study has validated the use of tyrosinase (involved in …

While more than 90% of cancer deaths are due to metastases, our ability to detect circulating
tumor cells (CTCs) is limited by low numbers of these cells in the blood and factors …

3′-Deoxy-3′-fluorothymidine (FLT) is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer used
to identify proliferating tumor cells. The purpose of this study was to characterize FLT …

Gemcitabine is a hydrophilic clinical anticancer drug that requires nucleoside transporters
to cross plasma membranes and enter cells. Pancreatic adenocarcinomas with low levels of …

18 F-3′-Deoxy-3′-fluorothymidine ( 18 F-FLT) is a PET tracer that accumulates in
proliferating tissues. The current study was undertaken to determine whether equilibrative …

The feasibility of personalized medicine approaches will be greatly improved by the
development of noninvasive methods to interrogate tumor biology. Extracellular vesicles shed by …

Metastasis is the most lethal aspect of cancer, yet current therapeutic strategies do not target
its key rate-limiting steps. We have previously shown that the entry of cancer cells into the …
