Article Synopsis
  • - T mapping is a fast and quantitative MRI technique that measures proton relaxation rates to visualize tissue structures, often used in cardiac imaging but not extensively studied for tumors.
  • - Recent studies using T mapping on two tumor models showed it can effectively differentiate between normal and cancerous tissues, even under challenging imaging conditions.
  • - The findings indicate that relaxation mapping yields distinct values for different tissue types surrounding tumors, suggesting its potential for tracking tumor progression and identifying small metastases.

Glycans govern cellular signaling through glycan-protein and glycan-glycan crosstalk. Disruption in the crosstalk initiates 'rogue' signaling and pathology. Nanomaterials supply platforms for multivalent displays of glycans, mediate 'rogue' signal correction, and provide disease treatment modalities (therapeutics).
