In a significant breakthrough in inflammatory arthritis research, a study published today (Feb. 23) in Nature Immunology has revealed that inflammation-associated fibroblasts—a type of cell in ...

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) have issued a new procedure standard/practice guideline for the use of fibroblast ...

Blood tests, ultrasounds, and MRIs often fail to detect the earliest changes in cardiomyopathy, when fibroblasts activate and start the scarring process. Since early detection is crucial for the best ...

Figure 1. Maximum-intensity projections and fusion images of [68 Ga]Ga-FAPI PET/CT from representative patients of different NICM subtypes. PET scans were classified into three columns, including ...

Glioblastoma represents the most lethal form of brain cancer, characterized by a 5-y survival rate of approximately 4%. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP), expressed within both the tumor ...

A vitamin D-based therapy may help remodel the protective barrier surrounding pancreatic tumors, offering a potential new ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Fiona Leslie, Chloe Whiting, and Megan Webster. TGF-β1-mediated activation of fibroblasts, their transition to α-SMA-expressing myofibroblasts, ...

A small clinical trial led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers has put a Salk Institute idea to the test in patients: that activating the vitamin D receptor can help reshape the protective ...

New research has been published ahead-of-print by The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM). JNM is published by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, an international scientific and ...

A new PET/CT imaging technique that visualizes activated fibroblasts in the heart muscle enables early detection of multiple forms of cardiomyopathy, according to research presented at the Society of ...
