## Abstract In this review we will discuss the use of multivalent polymerized vesicles (PVs) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gamma scintigraphy to image expression of vascular molecular receptors in vivo. Specifically, we will present our data on the use of this technology to des

## Abstract The elucidation of the molecular pathogenesis of a disease in animal models provides candidate targets for treatment. As specific antagonists for a target are developed and tested in clinical trials, if benefit is achieved, the candidate becomes a validated target. Validated targets sti
## Abstract Noninvasive molecular imaging of angiogenesis could play a critical role in the clinical management of peripheral vascular disease patients. The Ξ±~Ξ½~Ξ²~3~βintegrin, a wellβestablished biomarker of neovascular proliferation, is an ideal target for molecular imaging of angiogenesis. This s
## Abstract ## Purpose Increased neovascularization has been identified as a feature of atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and can be traced by microbubble ultrasound contrast agents (UCA). We investigated the relationship between retention of a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEG
