  • Title: Optical molecular imaging: from single cell to patient.
    Author: Moriyama EH, Zheng G, Wilson BC.
    Journal: Clin Pharmacol Ther; 2008 Aug; 84(2):267-71. PubMed ID: 18388867.
    Abstract:
    Optical imaging is an emerging field with a wide range of biomedical research and clinical applications, both current and future. It comprises several classes of techniques that are capable of providing information at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole-animal levels. These techniques match well with emerging genomic and proteomic technologies that enable development of optical "probes," as well as with nanotechnologies for multifunctional imaging and drug delivery. These advances have enormous potential to accelerate drug discovery/development by providing predictive information on mechanisms of action and biological responses.
