A new method for loading iron inside nanoparticles creates MRI contrast agents that work better than the mainstay gadolinium chelates, which face increased scrutiny due to potential safety concerns, ...

Rice University nanoscientists have demonstrated a method for loading iron inside nanoparticles to create MRI contrast agents that outperform gadolinium chelates, the mainstay contrast agent that is ...

Levels of iron in the brain could be a warning sign of future Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests. High levels of the chemical element have been shown to increase brain toxins and trigger ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers demonstrated a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method sensitive to the live brain's iron homeostasis (the r1-r2 extent of relaxation ...

A study headed by Johns Hopkins University researchers has shown how an MRI technique that detects iron levels in different regions of the brain can predict the onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI ...

Nanoscientists have demonstrated a method for loading nanoparticles with iron ions to create MRI contrast agents that outperform gadolinium chelates, the mainstay contrast agent that is facing ...
