Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Detection and Quantification of Fibrosis in Human Myocardium

Technology OverviewMyocardial fibrosis is a morphologic change common to multiple cardiac disease conditions. In addition to replacement (scar) fibrosis, there is increasing recognition of interstitial (reactive) fibrosis acting as an important player in structural remodeling of the diseased heart, as well as the genesis of fatal arrhythmia leading...

Profiling circulating fragments of fibrillin-1, fibrillin-2, and fibulin-4 as biomarkers for disease

Technology Overview Fibrillin-1, fibrillin-2, and fibulin-4 are molecular components of elastic fibers and microfibrils. Elastic fibers and microfibrils are stable structures especially abundant in the connective tissues of blood vessels, lung, skin, ligaments and tendons, and the eye. As a result of disease processes, these structures can be ...
