Cover Story: Angiogenesis is an active process regulating new vessel formation and is crucial for the survival and growth of tumours. We discuss possible molecular imaging approaches for tumour vascularisation and vitality. We show that tracers with an indirect targeting technique, such as [18F]-FDG and hypoxia tracers, have strong prognostic power regarding patient survival though are not 1:1 correlated with angiogenesis. On the other hand, tracers that directly target a specific factor in angiogenesis (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor, integrins) have a strict relation between the degree of angiogenesis and their uptake. While there is still a large number of ongoing clinical trials, we expect at least one member of the RGD family targeting integrins to eventually enter the clinical routine. View this paper

  • Ana Rita Colaço,
  • Gecioni Loch-Neckel,
  • Marta Barbosa and
  • Dora Brites

miRNA(miR)-124 is an important regulator of neurogenesis, but its upregulation in SOD1G93A motor neurons (mSOD1 MNs) was shown to associate with neurodegeneration and microglia activation. We used pre-miR-124 in wild-type (WT) MNs and anti-miR-124 in...
