Can we make a brain tumor visible under ultrasound? 🧠 🔉 Yes, using intravenous #gasvesicles! This can help guide brain surgery and monitor for tumor recurrence.
Congrats to Claire Rabut, George Daghlian and collaborators!

Schematic explaining In vivo tracking of active transcription. Injection of gene therapy is followed by measurement of the transcripts with RNA sensors, which produce a synthetic serum marker called RMA.
qPCR can measure expression of virtually any gene... in homogenized tissues. Here, we show an "in-vivo qPCR" equivalent, where we measure a sequence-specific transcript with synthetic serum markers and enzyme-based signal amplification.

What happens when you can take videos of acoustic proteins in 3D inside the body? 🧊 You can see things like the flow of CSF in the brain! 🧠
Congrats to Sunho Lee, co-senior author Claire Rabut, and colleagues on "Takoyaki" ultrasound. 🥟 #gasvesicles www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
