Great opportunities opening up here!
Gordon Center for Medical Imaging@MGHGordon
11 Jan 2024
The Gordon center started the new year with a new biological emphasis under new leadership: @MatthiasNahrend is our new director. Umar Mahmood will lead a technology-focussed sibling, the Center for Nuclear Medicine & Theranostic Sciences.

This paper from @Mariane_LeFur had 3 provocative findings. 1. Gadolinium retained in kidneys is invisible to T1w MRI until it is present at high 100s of micromolar. Gd is retained in kidneys at several orders of magnitude more than in brain. #Kidney 1/6

Following administration of four different gadolinium contrast agents to healthy rats, mass spectrometry showed the highest concentration in the kidney cortex at day 17. @PeterCaravan @Mariane_LeFur @MGHMartinos @MGH_RI @i3MGH bit.ly/3FsC8ze

3. At 7-8 weeks after dosing the gadolinium retained in the rat kidneys was intact chelate. This was true of all 4 compounds tested including the linear chelate gadobenate. 5/6

Despite all that Gd, there were no histological signs of kidney damage. Would be worth testing if this is true in older rats or those with prior kidney injury. End

We're thrilled to present our latest work on #ovariancancer detection through the analysis of #extracellularvesicles . We delved into the fallopian tube to identify early lesions. @MGHCSB @MGH_RI doi.org/10.1002/advs.2023019…

Inaugurating High‐Throughput Profiling of Extracellular Vesicles for Earlier Ovarian Cancer...

This study utilizes extracellular vesicles (EVs) to detect high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) at an early stage. It capitalizes on insights into HGSOC's development from precursor lesions...

In most CKDs, lysyl oxidase oxidation of collagen forms allysine side chains, which then form stable crosslinks. This study shows MRI using Gd-OA is potentially a valuable tool for detecting and staging renal fibrogenesis bit.ly/JASN0148 @PeterCaravan @i3MGH
Gd-OA detects fibrogenesis in the NTN mouse model.
