Imaging Atherosclerotic Plaque Inflammation via Folate Receptor Targeting Using a Novel F-Folate Radiotracer
Folate receptor β (FR-β) is overexpressed on activated, but not resting, macrophages involved in a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. A pivotal step in atherogenesis is the subendothelial accumulation of macrophages. In nascent lesions, they coordinate the scavenging of lipids and cell...
