Abstract
In this month’s <i>Radiology</i>, Al Faraj et al show how microparticles derived from mouse endothelial cells subjected to a media-free environment (and therefore, under stress) can be labeled with iron nanoparticles and imaged with MR imaging to demonstrate their biodistribution and clearance kinetics.
