Article Synopsis
- - Researchers created special micelles (tiny spherical structures) that are pegylated, fluorescent, and contain magnetic properties to help identify macrophages in mice with atherosclerosis.
- - When these micelles were injected into mice, significant signal enhancement was seen in those that received micelles targeting macrophage scavenger receptors (MSR), indicating a strong interaction, while nontargeted micelles showed minimal effects.
- - The study successfully demonstrated that these specially designed micelles can be used for imaging macrophages in mice, providing a method for better understanding conditions like atherosclerosis through both MRI and fluorescence microscopy.
