Synopsis

Molecular imaging can personalize cancer therapies by monitoring treatment responses, where hyperpolarized MRI is becoming an increasingly critical methodology. However, the limited number of available probes, which can interrogate key physiology/biochemistry related to targeted diseases, remains one of the major challenges in this growing field. In this presentation, we successfully demonstrate, for the first time, the advantages of newly synthesized 13C-Glutathione and 13C-N-acetyl cysteine probe in vivo redox status in a complementary manner. This approach serves as powerful non-invasive biomarkers to assess oxidative stress, which plays a vital role in various diseases and can be translatable to the clinical diagnosis.
