Translocator protein targeted molecular imaging in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Targeted molecular imaging utilizing positron emission tomography (PET) technology may provide a non-invasive biomarker in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Translocator protein (TSPO, 18 kDa), a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, is upregulated in persistent injury and inflammation. Hence, we evaluated the TSPO-...
