First In Vivo SPECT Imaging of Mouse Femorotibial Cartilage Using 99mTc-NTP 15-5
The Gamma Imager at the forefront of preclinical research on cartilage:
the team of Nicole Moins characterized a SPECT radiotracer specific to articular joints.
The modularity of the Gamma Imager made possible the use of planar and SPECT modes for both dynamic and static acquisitions.
Such results may offer a unique opportunity to achieve a greater understanding of cartilage physiology in health and disease.

A new European Network: ENCITE
June 20th-21st, 2008, Munich


Biospace Lab is participating to the creation of the European Network for Cell Imaging and Tracking Expertise (ENCITE),
supported by the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme (FP7), and co-ordinated by the EIBIR (European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research).
Biospace Lab will be present at the Kick off meeting, held this week end in Munich.
Kinetics measurements with the beta microprobe in mice
New! Major publication on Biospace Lab betamicroprobe. The team of Philippe Lanièce (UMR8165 CNRS-University Paris 7 and Paris 11) describes its work
for in vivo kinetics measurements of the binding of 18F-MPPF in mouse hippocampus.

A new molecule with potential anti-cancer effects
June 2008


A potentially anti-cancerous molecule, named HB19, was characterized and studied for its effect on
tumor growth and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. The Beta Imager was used to determine the biodistribution
of the molecule after systemic administration in rats. Whole body autoradiography of the rats showed a fast clearance from the blood to
tissues expressing significant levels of surface nucleotin, a cell surface protein involved in various processes like
cell proliferation, differentiation and angiogenesis.
