Our recent study reveals that αvβ3 integrin-targeting [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-RGD is a potential PET tracer for the specific detection of active inflammatory lesions in autoimmune myocarditis frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Happy to share our latest paper. PET tracer 18F-Fluoroglutamine detects inflamed atherosclerotic lesions. Exploiting glutamine consumption using 18F-FGln PET may have translational relevance for studying atherosclerotic inflammation. InFLAMES Flagship

Researchers from Turku PET Centre observed that the length of daylight hours impacts opioid receptor levels in brown fat, helping people and animals adapt to seasonal changes. A similar phenomenon also takes place in the brain. Lihua Sun Anne Roivainen utu.fi/en/news/press-…

Valo vaikuttaa nisäkkäiden ruskean rasvan opioidireseptoreihin. Päivänvalon vähetessä reseptorien määrä lisääntyy. Ilmiö auttaa eläimiä ja ihmisiä sopeutumaan vuodenaikoihin. Havainto tehtiin Turku PET Centre ´ssä. Lihua Sun Anne Roivainen #ruskearasva utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

MAP-CAD-hankkeessa kehitetään uusia menetelmiä kehon tulehdustilan kartoittamiseen. Tuloksille on laajaa käyttöarvoa, koska pitkäaikainen tulehdustila vaikuttaa useiden tautien etenemiseen. Lue lisää hankkeesta: aka.fi/globalassets/1… #AKA_TERVA @henaniemi

FM Olli Moision #väitös tuottaa tärkeää tietoa kehitystyöhön, jonka tavoitteena on monipuolinen valikoima radiolääkeaineita tulehdustilan eri vaiheiden ja mekanismien kuvantamiseen. Turku PET Centre InFLAMES Flagship utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…
