Theranostic π Electron‐Stabilized Polymeric Micelles for PET Imaging‐Guided Drug Delivery to Tumors

Small, EarlyView.
Cancer nanomedicine efficacy is limited by heterogeneous nanoparticle accumulation in tumors. Nuclear imaging offers non‐invasive, patient‐ and lesion‐specific visualization and quantification of nanoparticle uptake. We present a positron emission tomography (PET)‐imageable micelle platform for direct quantification of nanoparticle accumulation and ...

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted
