Cardiovascular Disease: Monocyte‐Targeting Supramolecular Micellar Assemblies: A Molecular Diagnostic Tool for Atherosclerosis (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 3/2015)
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Current diagnostic imaging tools cannot differentiate lethal plaques in atherosclerosis, and are not sensitive enough for preventive medicine. On page 367 M. Tirrell and co-workers present monocyte-targeting, peptide amphiphile micelles as a new class of diagnostic agents for molecular imaging capable of discriminating between varying stages of atherosclerosis. Bio-distribution and clearance mechanisms are investigated in vivo. Cover image by Peter Allen.
