Ultrasound-Responsive Conversion of Microbubbles to Nanoparticles to Enable Background-Free in Vivo Photoacoustic Imaging
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging based on the photon-to-ultrasound conversion allows the imaging of optical absorbers in deep tissues with high spatial resolution. However, the inherent optical absorbance of biomolecules (e.g., hemoglobin, melanin, etc.) would …

Three-dimensional myocardial strain correlates with murine left ventricular remodelling severity post-infarction
Heart failure continues to be a common and deadly sequela of myocardial infarction (MI). Despite strong evidence suggesting the importance of myocardial mechanics in cardiac remodelling, many MI studies still rely on two-dimensional analyses to estimate …
