We studied the impact of Ozanimod on neuroprotection in an experimental mouse model of ICH. Ozanimod was administered by gavage 2 h after surgery and once a day thereafter until sacrifice. The Ozanimod treatment improved neurobehavioral deficits and decreased weight loss after ICH. Ozanimod significantly reduced the density of activated microglia and infiltrated neutrophils in the perihematoma region. Furthermore, Ozanimod reduced hematoma volume and water content of the ICH brain. The results of TUNEL staining indicate that Ozanimod mitigated brain cell death. The quantitative data of Evans blue (EB) staining showed that Ozanimod reduced EB dye leakage. Overall, Ozanimod reduces the destruction of the BBB and exert neuroprotective roles following ICH in mice.

The data was acquired on an MRS*DRYMAG 4.7T system at The University of Zhengzhou. The article was published in Frontiers in Nuclear Medicine in 2022.

The fiber structure of tissue in meat and seafood has a significant impact on their perceived quality. We investigate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) MRI as a method to quantitatively describe tissue structure. DTI measures the anisotropy of water molecule diffusion within muscle fibers. A pilot study on cod loin samples showed clear differences in DTI parameters between high, medium, and poor quality samples. DTI detected details not visible in traditional MRI, indicating its promise for characterizing tissue structure in seafood and meat.

The data was acquired on an MRS*DRYMAG 7T, large bore 24 cm, at the Arctic University of Norway. The article was published in Food Chemistry in 2022.

OTX2 is a potent oncogene that promotes tumour growth in Group 3 medulloblastoma, via not-well characterized mechanisms. This publication shows an extensive multiomic analysis to identify an OTX2 regulatory network that controls Group 3 medulloblastoma cell fate. One of these involves an increase in the expression of neurodevelopmental transcription factors including PAX3 and PAX6. Expression of PAX3 and PAX6 is significantly lower in Group 3 medulloblastoma patients and is correlated with reduced survival, yet only PAX3 inhibits self-renewal in vitro and increases survival in vivo. Identification of mTORC1 signalling as a downstream effector of OTX2-PAX3 reveals roles for protein synthesis pathways in regulating Group 3 medulloblastoma pathogenesis.

The data was acquired on a MRS*DRYMAG 7T with a clip-on PET system at the university of Manitoba. The article was published in Nature Communications in 2020.

The use of preclinical simultaneous PET/MR imaging systems is on the rise, transitioning from physicists to pharmacology and biology experts. However, these combined scanners are susceptible to artifacts and performance deviations due to external factors or subsystem interference, potentially affecting image quality and data accuracy.
Quality assurance is essential to prevent loss of animals and experiments. To streamline this process, simple daily tests have been developed over the past 5 years for easy implementation by experimenters with limited technical expertise. Additional periodic tests are recommended for comprehensive system maintenance, using cost-effective materials for accessibility.

The data was acquired on a MRS*DRYMAG 7T with integrated PET insert system at the CGFL. The article was published in Molecular Imaging and Biology in 2022.

The study investigated the inflammatory response to blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening using pulsed-focused ultrasound and low microbubble doses in mice. Results showed that mild histologic changes and inflammatory response activation occurred at specific acoustic pressures (0.15-0.20 MPa) regardless of microbubble dose. Higher acoustic pressures led to more severe activation, indicating the importance of considering potential inflammatory responses when using ultrasound for BBB opening in therapeutic applications.

The data was acquired on a MRS*DRYMAG 3T system at Stanford University ersity. The article was published in Nanoscale in 2020.

This study aimed to use blood-pool MRI to assess how the heart's microvascular system responds to changes in blood gas levels, specifically looking for differences between male and female subjects. The research involved healthy rats exposed to normoxia and hypercapnia while undergoing MRI scans and laser Doppler perfusion measurements. Results showed that female rats exhibited myocardial vasodilation during hypercapnia, while males did not show significant changes. Both sexes experienced vasoconstriction upon returning to normoxia. The study concluded that blood-pool MRI is effective in detecting these responses and highlighted sex-related differences in how the heart's microcirculation reacts to mild changes in blood gas levels, which could have implications for understanding cardiovascular function and dysfunction.

The data was acquired on a MRS*DRYMAG 3T system at the University of Toronto. The article was published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine late last year.
