Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jean-Michel Franconi"
- Jean-Michel Franconi's recent research focuses on innovative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, particularly Overhauser-enhanced MRI (OMRI) and low-field MRI, to non-invasively assess enzymatic activity and monitor biological processes related to various diseases, especially concerning inflammation and cancer.
- His findings demonstrate the successful application of sensitive micellar probes and nitroxide-based reporters to track enzymatic reactions and proteolytic activities, providing potential diagnostic tools for early disease detection and real-time monitoring of biochemical events.
- Franconi's work also explores advancements in imaging methodologies, including 3D imaging sequences and fast T1 mapping techniques, enhancing the resolution and temporal dynamics of MRI for improved characterization of tumors and vascular health in animal models.
