Dual molecular imaging for targeting metalloproteinase activity and apoptosis in atherosclerosis: molecular imaging facilitates understanding of pathogenesis

BACKGROUND: Macrophage apoptosis and MMP activity contribute to vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques to rupture. By employing molecular imaging techniques, we investigated if apoptosis and MMP release are interlinked. METHODS: Atherosclerosis was produced in rabbits receiving high-cholesterol di...
