Article Synopsis
- - Non-invasive imaging of human beta cell mass is challenging, but research focused on a peptide called P88 that targets the biomarker FXYD2γa may offer a solution.
- - The researchers created a new MRI contrast agent by linking P88 with DOTA and GdCl₃, called Gd-DOTA-P88, and tested it in mice implanted with human beta cell line EndoC-βH1.
- - Results showed that Gd-DOTA-P88 accumulates significantly in the beta cell xenografts compared to background tissue, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for non-invasive imaging of human beta cells in future studies.
