Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a form of intra-arterial catheter-based chemotherapy
that selectively delivers high doses of cytotoxic drug to the tumor bed combining with …

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a recently described, highly debilitating scleroderma-like
disease occurring in patients with severe or end-stage renal failure. NSF is …

Objectives To prospectively compare in healthy rats the effect of multiple injections of macrocyclic
(gadoterate meglumine) and linear (gadodiamide) gadolinium-based contrast agents (…

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate Gd retention in the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN)
of linear gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) compared with a macrocyclic …

Objective— Despite great advances in our knowledge, atherosclerosis continues to kill
more people than any other disease in the Western world. This is because our means of …

CCR5 is a G-protein-coupled receptor activated by the chemokines RANTES (regulated on
activation normal T cell expressed and secreted), macrophage inflammatory protein 1α and …

Purpose To compare the long-term brain elimination kinetics and gadolinium species in healthy
rats after repeated injections of the contrast agents gadodiamide (a linear contrast agent…

It is well established that most G protein-coupled receptors are able to form homo- and
heterodimers, although the functional consequences of this process often remain unclear. CCR5 …

Objective— Acute ischemic events are often caused by the disruption of lipid-rich plaques,
which are frequently not angiographically visible. Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and …

Molecular and cellular imaging of atherosclerosis has garnered more interest at the beginning
of the 21st century, with aims to image in vivo biological properties of plaque lesions. …
