A contrast agent recognizing activated platelets reveals murine cerebral malaria pathology undetectable by conventional MRI.
Human and murine cerebral malaria are associated with elevated levels of cytokines in the brain and adherence of platelets to the microvasculature. Here we demonstrated that the accumulation of platelets in the brain microvasculature can be detected with MRI, using what we believe to be a novel cont...
