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.

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.

University of Luebeck, Luebeck, Germany
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.

Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima-shi, Japan
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.
  Figure 665-04-007.  MRI-Readable Radiation Dosimetry at Low Magnetic Field (64 mT)

National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, United States of America
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.

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.

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.
