Abstract
Recent progress in gene therapy has increased the need for non-invasive imaging methods that would allow early diagnosis of successful treatment. Magnetic resonance methods, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), have shown great promise to achieve this goal. The current mini-review describes recent advances in experimental MRI and MRS to detect individual treatment steps in gene therapy of tumours from gene transfection to therapy response. Limitations of the current techniques are also discussed.

Programmed Cell Death Genes in Oncology: Pioneering Therapeutic and Diagnostic Frontiers (BMS-CGT-2024-HT-45)
Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is recognized as a pivotal biological mechanism with far-reaching effects in the realm of cancer therapy. This complex process encompasses a variety of cell death modalities, including apoptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, each of which contributes to the intricate landscape of cancer development and ...read more
