Project content
Low-molecular Gd-containing complexes and electrostatically stabilised iron oxide nanoparticles developed in our own group can be used as imaging probes to visualise inflammatory processes in MRI through semispecific interaction with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of the pathologically altered extracellular matrix. This project aims to microscopically characterise GAGs and contribute to the elucidation of this interaction by providing imaging probes and using special histological methods, also with the integration of the physical-analytical methods of the network. In addition, by coupling the imaging probes to GAG-affine peptides, a more specific labelling of GAGs is to be achieved, initially for microscopy, and prospectively also for in vivo application in the network.
