Development of a Dual-Tuned ¹H/²³Na Organoid MRI Platform at 14 Tesla for Hemodynamics-Independent Functional Mapping
Impact: This work establishes the first dual-tuned ¹H/²³Na MRI
platform for imaging human cerebral organoids at 14 T, enabling high-resolution
structural and ionic mapping. It provides a vascular-free system to directly
validate sodium-based neural activity imaging, transforming interpretation of
fMRI signals.

Feasibility of Dynamic 13C-NMR measurements in Patient-Derived Midbrain Organoids to Probe Metabolism in Parkinson’s Disease
Impact: This study established the feasibility of combining patient with Parkinson’s disease-derived human midbrain-like organoids with dynamic 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for real-time investigation of metabolic fluxes, laying the foundation for biomarker discovery, precision medicine approaches, and disease monitoring methods.

Integrated MRS-NMR Profiling Reveals Brain-Body Metabolic Disruptions in Buprenorphine-Maintained Opioid Dependent Patients
Impact: Neurochemical and metabolic
alterations persist during buprenorphine maintenance treatment (BMT) in opioid
dependence. Brain-serum metabolic imbalance links elevated peripheral muscle
catabolism with reduced cortical membrane turnover, highlighting the need for
metabolic and nutritional monitoring in neurochemical recovery during addiction
care.

Neurochemistry of SOD1 ALS neurocortical organoids using high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy
Impact: We present non-destructive, high-resolution metabolic assessment in ALS-derived neurocortical organoids using HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy. By enabling sensitive detection of neurodegeneration-linked metabolic alterations, this approach provides a potential platform to identify ALS-related metabolic pathways and explore preventive strategies against neurodegeneration.

Multiscale imaging of human PINK1-mutant brain organoids: linking quantitative MRI and holotomography
Impact: To improve biological interpretation of
neurodegeneration MRI markers, we explored organoid-based qMRI for controlled,
genotype-specific calibration of diffusion and multiparametric markers, including
comparisons against 3D cellular X-ray holotomography.

Development and Evaluation of a Microcapsule-based Phantom Simulating Intra- and Extracellular Water Diffusion
Impact: We successfully developed a microcapsule-based
diffusion phantom that distinctly simulates intra- and extracellular
compartments by exhibiting different diffusion coefficients inside and outside
the microcapsules, thereby enabling more physiologically relevant modeling of
restricted diffusion.

MRI-Readable Radiation Dosimetry at Low Magnetic Field (64 mT)
Impact: Portable low-field magnetic resonance imaging (LF-MRI) at 64
mT can be used for applications in MRI-readable radiation dosimetry, which
enables rapid assessment of dose plans using a lower cost MRI system.

Dynamic Lung MRI of Forced Expiration Using a 3D FLORET Trajectory
Impact: This technique enables high-temporal-resolution 3D imaging of forced expiration, to non-invasively asses regional lung deflation dynamics. Unlike spirometry, it provides spatially resolved insight into ventilation and motion patterns, supporting development of novel biomarkers and improving pulmonary function evaluation.

Is the ISMRM/NIST Phantom Truly Sequence-Independent? Validation and Vulnerability in High-Resolution T2 Mapping.
Impact: Our findings challenge the assumption that NIST/ISMRM phantom values are sequence-independent. Recognizing how fitting choices influence “ground truth” improves transparency in quantitative MRI, motivating the development of open, standardized pipelines for reproducible calibration across scanners, sequences, and research centers.

Functional plant MRI: Propagator-based velocity mapping of flow in vascular bundles in a 9.4-T microimaging system.
Impact: In-vivo
validation of the accelerated flow velocity measurements allows to confidently
apply the Pulsed Field Gradient RARE technique to detect flow changes in
vascular bundles of plants under mechanical stress, enabling functional plant
MRI.
