Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a new imaging technique, multi-spectral cryo-fluorescence tomography (CFT), for tracking fluorescent perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanoemulsions in mice with inflammation models.
- By injecting different fluorescent PFC nanoemulsions into mice and imaging them 24 hours later, researchers were able to see how well these tracers localized in various tissues.
- The results show that CFT effectively identifies the distribution of PFC nanoemulsions, providing a high-resolution alternative for validating probe localization compared to traditional histological methods.

Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that significantly lowers quality of life and life expectancy, often accompanied by various health comorbidities.
- Despite known increased mortality rates among schizophrenia patients, the effects of gastrointestinal and liver diseases on them are not well understood, though issues like chronic liver disease and constipation from antipsychotic treatment are prevalent.
- There is a need for improved awareness and collaborative support within the medical community to ensure timely and appropriate care for these patients, especially in regard to digestive health and screenings like bowel cancer tests.
