— Technology Description:
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed targeted, natural nanoparticle imaging agents that may be used to quantify kidney nephron endowment and diagnose renal disease with MRI or PET imaging.
Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney responsi…
