Hyperpolarized ¹³C‑Pyruvate MRI Detects Early Metabolic Transition from Healthy Liver to MASH and to HCC
Impact: This work
highlights the potential of non-invasive 13C hyperpolarized metabolic
imaging for early diagnosis and monitoring of MASH progression to HCC. 13C
hyperpolarized metabolic imaging provides a sensitive, quantitative tool for
monitoring liver disease progression and therapeutic outcomes.

Hyperpolarized dimethyl [1,4-13C2]fumarate as a probe of gluconeogenesis in the liver and kidney
Impact: Dimethyl
[1,4-13C2]fumarate is a promising tracer for identifying
the primary sources of new glucose production especially in humans, as the
significantly lower esterase activity in human blood would allow the esterified
form to remain intact longer in circulation.

Acute MEMRI Associates With Chronic Scar Burden and Left Ventricular Remodeling After Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion
Impact: Clinically translatable manganese-enhanced MRI showed
strong correlation between acute injury and established chronic remodeling.
Early MEMRI readouts of myocardium viability could serve as a reliable imaging
biomarker for anticipating long-term scar burden and left ventricular dilation.
