Hyperpolarized Nanodiamond with Long Spin Relaxation Times [PDF]
The use of hyperpolarized agents in magnetic resonance (MR), such as 13C-labeled compounds, enables powerful new imaging and detection modalities that stem from a 10,000-fold boost in signal. A major challenge for the future of the hyperpolarizaton technique is the inherently short spin relaxation times, typically < 60 seconds for 13C liquid-state ...

Liposomes for Cancer Theranostics
Cancer is one of the most well-studied diseases and there have been significant advancements over the last few decades in understanding its molecular and cellular mechanisms. Although the current treatments (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, gene therapy and immunotherapy) have provided complete cancer remission for many patients, cancer still remains ...

Resting-state functional connectivity-based biomarkers and functional MRI-based neurofeedback for psychiatric disorders: a challenge for developing theranostic biomarkers [PDF]
Psychiatric research has been hampered by an explanatory gap between psychiatric symptoms and their neural underpinnings, which has resulted in poor treatment outcomes. This situation has prompted us to shift from symptom-based diagnosis to data-driven diagnosis, aiming to redefine psychiatric disorders as disorders of neural circuitry.

A Statistical Description of Nuclear Reaction Models for Medical Radionuclides: the Paradigmatic Case of $^{47}$Sc Production with Thick Vanadium Targets [PDF]
We have introduced a tool to describe in a simple and efficient way the outcomes of known nuclear reaction codes. It differs from the customary use where typically a specific single model is selected and the remaining disregarded. The use of simple statistical procedures allows to introduce a more general theoretical evaluation with quantitative ...

Reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment using engineered dual-drug loaded Salmonella
Synergistic combinations of immunotherapeutic agents can improve the performance of anti-cancer therapies but may lead to immune-mediated adverse effects. These side-effects can be overcome by using a tumor-specific delivery system.

A novel approach to medical radioisotope production using inverse kinematics: a successful production test of the theranostic radionuclide 67Cu [PDF]
A novel method for the production of important medical radioisotopes has been developed. The approach is based on performing the nuclear reaction in inverse kinematics, namely sending a heavy-ion beam of appropriate energy on a light target (e.g. H, d, He) and collecting the isotope of interest.

Theranostics vs theratyping or theranostics plus theratyping?
Treating all people with Cystic Fibrosis (pwCF) to the level of benefit achieved by highly efficient CFTR modulator therapies (HEMT) remains a significant challenge. Theratyping and theranostics are two distinct approaches to advance CF treatment.
