GUEST: Mikhail Shapiro, Pasadena In this episode we welcome our famous guest Mikhail Shapiro from Caltech. Mikhail exquisitely combines ultrasound with synthetic biology for gene regulation, imaging, and therapy - and Synthetic biology is surely the common thread in this podcast edition. We discover how an engineered receptor and an intracellular signalling domain, known as ‘synNotch’ can be used to visualise cell-cell communication in vivo. And how this system can be used to identify immune-...

In vivo imaging of cerebral glucose metabolism informs on subacute to chronic post-stroke tissue status - A pilot study combining PET and deuterium metabolic imaging

This is the Podcast of the European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI).&nbsp;Join us as we delve into the recent literature, and perhaps learn a little from the minds that have shaped the field.&nbsp;The premise is really simple: Each time we invite one senior academic to discuss their favourite publication from the recent literature. We’ll find out what caught their eye, and why it is worth taking a closer look at this particular publication. Along the way, we will learn their publication strategies and possibly even glimpse into the future of this amazing field of research.&nbsp;Music “In this Life”, Composer: Guido Jäger, Musicians: Andreas Jacobs – violin, Jacob Niller – accordion, Wolfgang Platen – contrabass
