A newly developed PET radiotracer can be used to create an inflammation map of the entire gastrointestinal tract, providing detailed information to accurately detect and stage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Targeting the IBD biomarker IL12/23p40, the PET imaging tool offers a minimally invasive approach to identifying disease and guiding treatment. This research was published in the November issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

The findings were published in Science of The Total Environment.

For the first time, a research team in Korea has discovered there is a significant relationship between depression and the taurine concentration in the hippocampus, an area of the brain responsible for memory and learning functions. This discovery provides the opportunity to publicize the role and importance of taurine in future prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of depression.
