Dissecting Sex-Specific Pathology in K18-hACE2 Transgenic Mice Infected With Different SARS-CoV-2 Variants. [PDF]
J Med VirolABSTRACT Sex‐biased differences in COVID‐19 outcomes in relation to individual SARS‐CoV‐2 variants are not well understood. In this study, lungs and nasal cavities of age‐matched female and male K18‐hACE2 transgenic mice were collected for dissecting sex‐specific differences in pathology after infection of SARS‐CoV‐2 614 G, Delta, or Omicron variant ...

Improved detection of molecular markers of atherosclerotic plaques using sub-millimeter PET imaging [PDF]
, 2020 Since atherosclerotic plaques are small and sparse, their non-invasive detection via PET imaging requires both highly specific radiotracers as well as imaging systems with high sensitivity and resolution.
