}In vivo molecular imaging is a rapidly growing research area both for basic and clinical science. Non-invasive imaging of in vivo conditions at the molecular level increases understanding of the biological characteristics of normal and diseased tissues without the need for invasive surgical procedures. Among the various imaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has garnered interest as a molecular imaging modality due to its high spatial resolution. Here, we have demonstrated that…
