Ultrasound is the most widely used medical imaging modality worldwide. It is abundant,
extremely safe, portable, and inexpensive. In this review, we consider some of the current …

Nucleolin (NCL) plays an important role in tumor vascular development. An increased
endothelial expression level of NCL has been related to cancer aggressiveness and …

Standard imaging cannot reliably predict the nature of renal tumors. Among malignant renal
tumors, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common histological subtype, in …

In ultrasound molecular imaging (USMI), ligand-functionalized microbubbles (MBs) are used
to visualize vascular endothelial targets. Netrin-1 is upregulated in 60% of metastatic breast …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the added value of ultrasound molecular
imaging of the vascular growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) expression, using the clinical …

Malaria is a severe disease and kills over 400,000 people each year. Malarial complications
are the main cause of death and include cerebral malaria and malaria-associated acute …

Objectives To investigate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with VEGFR2-targeted
microbubbles for monitoring therapy effects of regorafenib on experimental colon …

Angiogenesis, the formation of new vessels, is one of the key mechanisms in tumor
development and an appealing target for therapy. Non-invasive, high-resolution, high …

Abstract Purpose of Review Myocardial infarction (MI) leading to heart failure displays an
