We report a new strategy for designing a signal off-to-on-type (19)F MRI chemical probe that operates in biological environments. The present strategy is based on the control of adherence of a (19)F MRI chemical probe to certain blood proteins, accompanied by a change in transverse relaxation time of (19)F nuclei.

Background Pulmonary function tests are central to diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory diseases but do not provide information on regional lung function heterogeneity. Fluorine 19 (F) MRI of inhaled perfluoropropane permits quantitative and spatially localized assessment of pulmonary ventilation properties without tracer gas hyperpolarization. Purpose To assess regional lung ventilation properties using F MRI of inhaled perfluoropropane in participants with asthma, participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and healthy participants, including quantitative evaluation of bronchodilator response in participants with respiratory disease.

In vivo fluorine-19 MRI using F-based tracer media has shown utility and versatility for a wide range of biomedical uses, particularly immune and stem cell detection, as well as biosensing. As with many advanced MRI acquisition techniques, the sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) in vivo is a key consideration for a successful study outcome. In this review, we analyze the primary factors that limit cell LOD.

Fluorine-19 (F) MRI has become an established tool for in vivo cell tracking following ex vivo or in vivo labelling of various cell types with F perfluorocarbons (PFCs). Here, we developed and evaluated novel mouse-specific radiofrequency (RF) hardware for improved dual H anatomical imaging and deep tissue F MR detection of PFCs. Three linearly polarized birdcage RF coils were constructed-a dual-frequency H/F coil, and a pair of single-frequency H and F coils, designed to be used sequentially.

-Perfluoro--butyl (-PFB) secondary amines, harboring a unique F-reporting moiety linked directly to nitrogen, are highly attractive due to their diverse potential applications. However, their mild and facile synthesis remains a significant challenge. Herein, we present a safe and efficient strategy for the direct synthesis of -perfluoro--butyl secondary amines from readily available -trifluoromethyl secondary amines.

Amphiphilic gradient copolymers are promising alternatives to block copolymers for self-assembled nanomaterials due to their straightforward synthesis via statistical copolymerization of monomers with different reactivities and hydrophilicity. By carefully selecting monomers, nanoparticles can be synthesized in a single step through gradient copolymerization-induced self-assembly (gPISA). We synthesized highly sensitive F MRI nanotracers via aqueous dispersion gPISA of hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) with core-forming ,-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)acrylamide (TFEAM).
